This happened all in one day today.
My boyfriend and I went to atm to take cash out for rent. I handed it to him to give to his brother to collect when we got back home.
An hour later, we went out to get a couple of snacks. He had $30 in his wallet when we left. He spent $16.
We got back home and he gave his brother a $20. I didn't know but I asked his brother to confirm. Which doesn't make any sense because he doesn't have enough to give.
My boyfriend is drunk as hell right now and I didn't see him buy any alcohol/shots. His wallet also contains more money than when we left the house
How is this so?

Woah, that does sound really sketchy. A few things don't add up there for sure.
It's definitely weird that he apparently gave his bro more money than he should have had after the snacks. And now he's drunk too without buying drinks? Kinda suspicious.
I'd be pretty annoyed if I was in your shoes. Maybe give it till he sobers up and confront him then. See if his story stays straight or if he lies/changes details. That'll say a lot.
If he can't explain properly where the missing money went, I wouldn't be so quick to believe whatever excuse he comes up with drunk either. Might need to have a serious talk about trust here.
Not sure what's really going on, but those inconsistencies would worry me big time. I'd want answers before just letting it slide, ya know? Keep us posted how it goes down bro, that's a weird one for sure.
He told me his brother gave him money, but his brother told me that my boyfriend gave him money. Sooo not sure who's lying here.
He won't be sober until late tonight or tomorrow morning, so that's gonna be a while to sort this out.
Oh yeah, I also found a bottle of vodka under the sink... in the bathroom... When we had came back from buying snacks, he kept asking me to let him take a shot. (He already has beers and has told me he's only gonna drink beers and no more alcohol, but obviously, it's a lie.) I got confused and asked him what alcohol he's talking about and he claims that I have the bottle.
Also, his brother, him, and I were playing card games pretty much the whole time after we got back and my boyfriend had left once to go use the bathroom. When he came back, I felt something was off, but didn't say anything because I wanted to trust him that he wasn't going to drink liquor anymore; to keep his word.
This does annoy me and it's going to continue to annoy me until I can come to understand things directly from him.
Damn this whole situation is messed up. He's clearly lying about something big here. Finding that vodka bottle is the smoking gun - now you know for sure he's been secretly drinking hard alcohol when he promised he wouldn't. And his story not lining up with his brother's is a huge red flag too.
When he wakes up tomorrow, you gotta lay down the law. Tell him the jig is up, you know he's been lying, and you need the 100% truth right now about what really happened to that money and where he's been hiding booze. Don't let him try to wiggle out of it or dodge questions either. You deserve answers.
If I were you, I'd be thinking seriously about where this is headed. Someone who lies and hides stuff like that is not really someone you can trust. And alcoholism will only get worse without confronting it. Decide what your boundaries are - this could be a dealbreaker if it keeps up. Stand your ground and don't let him steamroll you. You don't deserve that stress. Hope you get the truth!
Okay so.. I did ask him about the money thing and even while sober, he couldn't remember how or where he got the extra money all of a sudden.
Also, right after I made this post, he fell down the stairs backwards and fractured his skull and also experienced brain bleeding.
His results came back stable but he's not all there in the head. He has many moments of confusion, but he thinks he's okay and on top of that, he continues to drink alcohol even though we had a talk after he was released from the hospital that he wouldn't drink anymore (he told me himself. I never brought it up yet.).
He said the alcohol helped numbed his headaches... But I'm scared of what's happening on the inside of his head. But he doesn't seem to be concerned at all and he still won't believe that he fell down the stairs.
It's not as bad now but he still have times of confusion or mishearing things. He doesn't drink alcohol every day or anything. He had a small bottle a couple of days ago and that was it. He also thinks I'm going to leave him for good every single time I get up to go get something or use the bathroom. He doesn't get mad or annoyed at small things anymore. He's calm and actually listens and talks to me.
He just looks so sad every time and then a relief on his face when I'm back.
Wow, that is seriously bad. Falling down the stairs and fracturing his skull is no joke, and mixing alcohol on top of that brain injury is super dangerous. I know he's feeling sad and confused, but you gotta put your foot down here - his health and safety have to come before anything else. No more drinking, period. And he really needs to see a doctor asap, that fall could have caused way more internal damage than they can see. I know it's hard when he's upset, but you gotta do what's best for him even if he doesn't agree right now. His wellbeing has to come first. Maybe talk to his family too, get them to help convince him to be totally sober and get proper medical care. I know it's scary, but you got this -just stay strong and focus on his recovery. I'm here if you need anything at all.
