My boyfriend/partner of 4 years drinks a lot every night. How can I help him quit?

I didn’t realize how much he drink until I moved in with him about a year ago. He drinks every night starting about 5 until after dinner. He cooks, listens to music and parties until dinner, then watches very little tv and crashes. We never go anywhere in the evening unless it has to do with drinking (bar, restaurant). He won’t ever go to family gatherings because he can’t binge drink. He has a good heart and is a wonderful guy. He works hard and never misses work. He can drink 15 beers then get up in the morning and hit the gym. Is there hope or should I just move on and realize I made (another) bad choice in picking a mate? My daughter has moved out of the house but knows he drinks too much. He has drank like this for over 20 years and has never been married and doesn’t have kids. I’m starting to see why! I try to always “fix” things and I’m going crazy because I hate what he is doing to our relationship.
