drink problem

[daz h]

i just got out my car from the fell race today and my alcholic friend from across the road captured me
every time i see him he asks me out for a drink
only went out with him once and i ended up draggin and carryin him home
i matced him pint for pint and wondered why he was bladdered
next day he said he drank 5 cans of special brew before we went out on the town
wot can i say to a man that regulary downs 3 cans of tennants super wilst he is mowin the lawn
e buys 8 cans of special brew a nite
just dont want to upset him , wot do u say

Tough one Daz,

I think that people with problems like alcoholism have to want to be helped. The guy may not realise what a problem he has. Is he the sort of bloke you could talk to about it or would he get p***ed off?

Perhaps a gentle conversation might upset him at first, but make him realise in the longer term that he has a serious drink problem. I guess that's down to you to decide whether your relationship/his personality could handle it.

It doesn't help that popular opinion makes problem drinking seem humorous and a positive thing.


Hats off to you for your concern though.

Dick is right unfortunately daz - there isn;t anything you can do really. my mum's an alkie and I say nothing anymore other than I won't tolerate her drinking and driving, or if she's incoherent I tell her I wont talk to her until she's sober.

This guy must know what he's doing and will either deal with it when he's ready, or not.

Or you could just nick his beer "for his own good"
