I had a friend who passed away almost 2 years ago. Was an alcoholic, he drank atleast 15 - 20 beers a day, with hard liquor mixed in, and on the weekends it was worse. no one could get him to stop, he just didn't care. I get what a lot of people are saying about oh you have to force him, you didn't try to stop him earlier, but it's hard if people are seriously stubborn, or if they grew up in that environment, watching others in their family doing it, and not seeing anything wrong with doing it... hope everything works out...
