How do you tell a person they are a acholic when they are in denial?
Answers:
Been there done that. I think the answer is you can but you can't. You can tell them until your blue in the face, but it won’t matter. They will only "hear" you if they want to. Don't waste your time. Just be there for the when they fall. Don't turn your back on them and always voice your opinion when asked
Maybe they aren't in denial, they just don't want your involvement.
Video tape them drunk and post it on youtube.

The only way an alcoholic can get help is when he/she finally admits to it and asks for help. No one can convince an alcoholic that he/she needs help.
What is "a acolic"?
Do you mean AN Alcoholic?
Remember when using "A" before a word that begins with a vowel you change "a" to "an"
As to your question: You can tell the person you are worried, you can give them some literature and that's about it. Go to an Al-ANON meeting to get some help from others in your position.
Nothing you can say an alcoholic has to realize they have a problem.

Trust me the person knows. He just does not want to admit it.
They have to admit it to themselves. You can't do any thing.
hmm.. your friend need to do it herself i'm afraid. but if u think u need to step in, ask her what her actual worries was..
i was an alcoholic by the age of 21. I woke up every morning wanting nothing but my drinks. Then i had to travel extensively and i hardly have the time to continue the habit. It just went away. I drank because i have certain question on my mind which was left unanswered. So to make the question go away, i got myself drunk always. now i am free. I am no longer an addict to alcohol.
