You can't stop either one of them from drinking "too much" beer. If they're alcoholics they're going to drink until they're drunk. If your brother brings beer into the ALF, your dad is sure to demand some, and brother can't be expected to refuse. Neither can he be relied on to cut dad off after two beers.
And you can't expect your nephew to step in and put a stop to it.
The best you can do is take care of yourself, and enjoy your time away.

I think your approach needs to be comprehensive and include counseling for the addiction. I would involve your Dad's doctor. You might want to get him into an alcohol treatment program.

Maybe you could call Adult Protective Services.

Have a large supply of nonalcoholic beer in the house. Dad probably won't notice it. Tell your brother to give him that, and if he gives him REAL beer, you'll poke out both of his eyes. If you get home and it's obvious he's not abided by your instructions, well, me? I might just follow through.

Go. Have a good time. "Let go and let God."
