My husband who is now 33, has

My husband who is now 33, has been drunken sleep peeing since he was in his mid teens. It doesn't take much for him to get to the point of passing out and then wakin up repeatedly during the night and peeing in various spots in the house (usually about 5 beer will do it). I have heard when he was a teen he peed in someone's fridge. I have personally seen him pee on his mother's curtains, the floor, the bed,f the door of a cabin, his tool bag etc... Yelling at him while it is happening makes no difference, he really thinks he is in the bathroom, and later when he sobers up, he has no recollection of the incident. My husband is half native american and his father is a closet alcoholic. I am at my whits-end as I am now 8 months pregnant and terrified he will do this with a child in the house. He is not an alcoholic but if his freinds are drinking, he cannot say 'no' and then overinduges (although he is a very cheap drunk and cannot walk properly after 4 beer). Does anyone have any advice on what may be wrong with him? I am tempted to drag him to the doctor at this point.
