My brother's an alcoholic, but I don't really know how serious it is and I can't bring myself to really try to do anything. I've mentioned a few times he really needs to stop drinking and he agrees, but he relies on it to sleep a lot of the time. He pukes probably once a week and it never affects his drinking, it's kind of scary. While he was here he spent 50-100 bucks a week on alcohol, I guess I'm in denial about how serious it is. Usually he buys some vodka or rum along with something flavored. He only drinks liquor and he goes through withdrawal when he stops so obviously it's bad.
I won't see him again til xmas and I'm thinking of trying to push it a bit harder. He relies on all sorts of medications along with alcohol to sleep and when he's out of one it results in him drinking more. Any ideas of how to help him or insight on the subject?
