He will also say that the reason he has no friends AT ALL, is because he choses to because humans are so flawed that all of them irritate him.
From what you write, it sounds like he himself may play a role in not having friends! I'm sorry you had to go through this, it sounds terrifying.
Certainly he has a drinking problem. It sounds unlikely that he would admit to it, but maybe you can encourage him to get help for this.
Please keep in mind, too, that he saying he 'has a touch of bipolar' does not mean by a long shot that he has been diagnosed with this. His behavior could be attributed to all kinds of things, but one of them seems to be alcoholism and certainly trouble controlling anger -the cause of these things -he'll have to see a pdoc for that, therapy would probably help as well, if he'd be willing.
You're a good friend for staying by his side, and I'd certainly be worried about him too. He really needs help, he sounds like he's in a terrible situation/state. But you need to take care of yourself as well; maybe it would help to set some boundaries with him; He seems unaware of the effect he has on others, so maybe letting him know the effect his behavior has had on you, will help give him some insight; at least maybe spur him to get some help. Best of luck to you!
