Alcohol...?!
My friend drinks and I'm afraid that in the long run, hes going to become more and more dependent on it, and eventually find himself drunk!. I know that alcohol is okay for some health benefits and such, but he doesnt have any health issues, he drinks just to drink!. I really care for him and I dont want anything bad to happen, so I want to help!. What can I do!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Talk to him!. Tell him how you feel!. Say that your scared, and if he tries to be "reassuring" you that he won't get drunk, he probably will!. Watch out for him then!. But if his reaction is something like "I'm sorry, I'll try not to"!. I think that is a good answer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You shouldn't 'do' anything!. Millions of people drink and only a small percentage become alcoholics or winos!. Social drinking is a staple of western civilization!. As someone once put it, 'Alcohol is the great lubricant of society'!. It's nice you care for your friend, but it really seems like you're mothering him here!. He can make his own decisions!. If it gets to the point where he's drinking in the mornings (generally a bad sign), getting drunk alone (nothing wrong with a drink or two on your own, but getting drunk alone is generally another bad sign), or drinking heavily almost every day, then you might consider holding a sort of intervention with his family, if everyone close to him can agree it really is a problem!.
As it is, a bit of drinking is both perfectly normal and healthy, and you have neither a right nor reason to interfere!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well if your friend drinks, reason dictates that of course he will eventually get drunk!.
If you are concerned if is a problem you should look into when and where he drinks, does he go out to drink and enjoy a social environment, then you should help him find different ways to socialize!.
If he drinks alone at home he could be trying to deal with some personal pain of some-kind, alcohol is a common way to cover that pain!. ("drowning his sorrows" so to speak)Www@FoodAQ@Com
