I always expected him to take the way out your friend did, so far, he hasn't.
Your advice about a support group is right....
But, you can't tell my brother anything.
(SOrry about your friend.)
You can't make anyone sober, I'm sorry about your brother's situation. While I've been clean and sober for years, I went through that revolving door many times. As long as he keeps going back there is hope.
God bless you pal. Drunks are really frustrating and hell on the family.
