Yes, leave.
If your husband can't control his drinking, leave. Alcohol is enjoyable (I'm thinking specifically of wine). Hard alcohol is too much. Beer is repulsive. Put some space between him and you and your kids.
I feel that people can drop any habit if they're ready and willing to do so -- but you can't change someone. They have to change. Motivate him. Leave.
Your kids are what's important. He ought to have realized that, long ago. Misusing alcohol is not a good character trait.
