Thank you all for your replies.

Jenkins09: I have no idea what I'm going to do. I've brought it up to him once before that he drinks way too much and the conversation went over like a lead balloon. I've been waiting for a day when he's sober to bring it up.... I'm still waiting and I think I'm just going to have to try to talk to him while he's drunk.

Yoda: Yeah... Unfortunately I have the smarts to know it's not healthy. I guess I'm just going to have to go with an ultimatum. And I really really really hate to do that. But I know it's the way it's going to come out. 'Straighten out, try and take care of yourself and cut out the drinking else I'm not going to be able to stay with you.' Something along those lines.

Valfor: Thanks. I'm going to need that peace you're sending! I agree with the whole around my age and younger people can over indulge but still not have a problem yet. Problem with him is he is 8 years my senior, just turned 37 (I'll be 29 later this year). So in my mind he should be past the "kiddie" over indulging and take it seriously when someone expresses concern. But I've never struggled with addiction so I wouldn't know.... I've tried the whole let's do other things, it didn't work. ::

Thank you all again
