My dad also served 30 years in Army and now drinks too much. Need to understand it is not too easy to control and change anyone way of life.
One way is to keep uncle busy with some activities and control alchohal consumption . You can't stop immediately as it may help in shorter tome but won't be effective in the long run.
Make sure you dad understand the value of quality of alcohol than quantity.
You may start by trying different type of alcohol and make him habitual to drink alcohol for pleasure rather than as an addiction.

Problem is they will be knowing all this side effects, health issues, family issues, but the alcohol won't leave them. That's the hard part.
So u need to some out of box solution.

I have two uncles who used to drink a lot. And check them now u won't belive this two were the same people.
For then they gave some medicine and also told them to wear God maal. Your elders might be knowing all this.

I don't know how it's dangerous ? Both my uncles now don't drink and working hard for family.
Which location
Try in kerala seems like u may get more options
Already admitted but not that much means?
It's not have good facilities
I can share my opinion as my elder brother is in same situation - see these de addiction centers won’t help ( We tried two for him, one for 2 months and second for 6 months) for following reasons:-
1. In india these centers are forcing people in a blocked area and less therapy
2. It’s a pure business than a social service, so you can imagine what there focus is
3. A individual may get worse once he/she is out from these centers to show anger to family
4. Success rate of de addiction centers in india is hardly 1%
5. Addicted people need extra care & love to get out from this situation and which is not there in these centers rather it’s opposite
I have done lot of research on this because even my life also got affected by this, so here are some of the advice:
1. We need to change their daily routine and show empathy towards them and please not indulge in any arguments with them as alcohol works as buster for them
2. Try to encourage them to do some physical exercise or yoga every day, yoga seems a effective tool, to start with you can send them to some yoga centers to help them
3. Try to encourage them to do pray everyday ( send him to temple/church/ whatever regions practise they follow), initially you can go with him
4. Don’t tell them what kind of problems you guys are facing because of them as it will put them under pressure and alcohol works as stress buster for them
5. Motivate them like ‘they can do it’ you guys care for his life and ready to help
6. You can take him to some religious ‘Aashram’ along with you, it worked for some people
7. Try to keep them busy in work which they like
8. Create a good environment for them at home (No fights, no arguments, don’t talk about their habit etc..)
9. Dont keep them alone, because when he is alone, he can only think of alcohal
Overall, it’s a tough fight you need to win, it’s not easy to quite alcohol so your family members should understand this that your dad is suffering from a disease and he is not doing it intentionally.
Also, remember one thing, one solution does not fit for all, so have patience and keep trying different methods, I can understand your and your family state of mind but you have to be mentally strong. I pray for you things will get better.
