I’m betting your friend DOESN’T really “need help” with his drinking. Most alcoholics are adverse to sharing their beverages. And I doubt he or she needs medical care to combat alcoholism, as it is not a “medical problem.” What the alcoholic needs is to stop drinking. That’s the ONLY thing that works or helps.

Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) is a fine organization, especially for those who, for one reason or another, insist on practicing monotheistic religions. For many people, there must be a “higher power” to help unload problems on and to whom to seek help. (There are non-religious AA meetings, but they’re a bit harder to find.) AND AA IS A FREE SERVICE!

IN ANY EVENT, an alcoholic will not be helped or even seek help until he or she is willing to admit to having a drinking problem and WANT to be helped. It’s not something you can wish upon someone else, unfortunately.

I wish your friend well. My first spouse (of 18 years) died at 41 of liver-related problems from a life-time of drinking beer. Nothing I could do helped. It was beyond sad. I miss him still.
