When my friend started having his alcohol problem, I confronted him and said that he could drink as much as he wanted, but that he had to stop acting like an idiot. He said he didn’t act stupid, so I videtaped him one whole evening, and put in on tv the morning after, when he was sick and feeling bad. He actually started to behave better, but he drinks just as much,,,

how old is this friend, you might want to refer to him to AA and see if he would go for awake up call

I don’t think that you really can’t. People will do as they please if they think it’s the right thing to do, and once they are strong about their opinion until they themselfs realize what harm they are really doing to themselfs. You can go ahead and tell her about it, tell her that you feel she has a problem, and that you think she needs help, but just make it your opinion, just make it seem from your point of view, so this way she does not snap at you or something. From then on there is not much that you can do, but let her be and see if she ever realizes the fact that she has a problem.

Yeah good luck with this one. You cannot convince someone they have a problem. They have to figure it out on their own. Also, denial is pretty much the first thing you’re going to encounter. The best thing you can do is express your feelings and don’t enable (i.e. don’t cover for her, don’t fix things, dont give her money for it, and don’t make it ok for her to be drunk around you).

tell them not to drink for a day or two and if they start shaking uncontrollably or vomiting, develop insomnia or seizures then that should be proof enough for them. and if they still dont think they have a drinkin problem then you should just kill them,JK

How does he convince you that he does not. The biggest problem with alcohol is denial. It is sometimes not till someone hits rock bottom that they realise. Have patients and also remember that its not your fault if they dont want help. All you can do is care. The rest is up to them. Hang in there.

You could make a video of them drunk or you could make a video of what they used to be like and what they have become, then show them the video and this should make them realise.hope this helps

Naw,, that’s not my job. I’ve done what I can, and he knows about his problem. He’s got tons of other stuff to deal with as well, and I don’t wanna make it worse for him :)

First of all, if you sett off seizures on a person, he/she could die. And to kill someone just cuz they got a drinking problem? That’s not very mature of you to say? Ha was talking about his sister! You probably haven’t had many problems yourself in your life.
