Since it looks like he has at least 3-4 convictions, this would come under:

3(a)(3) - Crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol on three or more occasions, where such crimes did not arise from a single act.

If he is the US citizen, then to comply with IMBRA requirements, he needs to submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every conviction with the I-129F petition. Unless he has filed multiple petitions in the past, his convictions won't affect his eligibility to file a petition for you and he won't need a waiver. IMBRA is mostly concerned over the disclosure of the USC's offences to the foreign beneficiary.

On a separate note, it's not really my place to say anything, but his string of alcohol-related offences spread out over the years is worrying. Do think about your own safety and how best to protect yourself once you are there.
