If someone can't go more than 3 days without a few beers can that be a sign they should seek counseling for alcoholism?
Especially if one is doing it during depression and kind of using it to get tired enough to sleep and escape for a brief time the unpleasantries?
The person or persons, do realize that all the reality is there once sober again, but in desparate need to "escape" for that short time, being slightly intoxicated holds a slight grip on them.
Just wondering, I have someone close to me and want to try to help him.
Thanks for any info. in advance,

In my heart I feel this person can or is heading to alcoholism. His pdoc. has been telling him to try to cut it out, just stay with the meds he has given him.
Alternative given as voluntary, his pdoc suggested some sort of alcohol/substance abuse out patient day/nite program.
I do not know how much I can say to this person in fear of offsetting something worse
