Hello,
Your son's alcohol is probably the result of depression which he has because despite good education and ability he is not getting a good job. That can be the reason he is trying to self medicate himself with alcohol.
Hostility and irritability can be a symptom of depression if he does so even when he is not under influence of alcohol.
I believe you should take him to a psychiatrist and get him off alcohol and if some underlying depression if found out, he can be treated for that. You need to convince him to seek professional help.
And coming to his unemployment, he should be encouraged to take up some job even if it is less paying or a bit lesser than his qualification. If he sits idle it will be tough for him to cope up and feelings of worthlessness can be overwhelming.
Hope your concern is addressed. Feel free to ask any more queries. Take care.
Regards.
