Seek professional help?

Wow. I think this man may have a serious problem. Neither my husband or I have ever been drinkers, but that several friends who are. I think his wife should seek help on his behalf then ask him to join her. I will pray he is open to recieving the help. He will need it. And her too. It is hard to deal with someone who has a problem and refuses to realize it.

Well I have to say that I do not think it is normal for someone to drink every Day like that Maybe the one or 2 in the evening but not that amount and not as soon as they walk in from Work

Even if he is just happy and never get aggressive it is not good to drink that much. imagine what his liver looks like. I think that he is in denial if he says that he can go wothout him. Put him to the test and ask him not to have any for a month or so. My bet is that he will have serios withdrawls.

My father drinks a lot everyday and he finishes off one bottle of Tanduay rhum everyday. He can't sleep without such drink and he just sleeps whenever he gets drunk and never ever bother anybody. He has been drinking for over 30years and since I could remember. The thought of him seeking help actually never entered our mind because it is something that we just accept and allow him to sleep with. As to your friends husband, if he is not becoming neglectful or irresponsible, violent and negatively affecting anybody, I think there is really not need to seek professional help for him.

Yes I would say he needs help. And then for him to say he can give it up anytime. That is what most alcholic say. Even though he is a happy drinker he still has a problem.

If he drinks a 12 pack after work everyday I would not call that normal. However, I am not too sure I wuold get involved in that either. That would be something I would leave them to work out as it has the potential to get messy. cheers,
