Not really, just be there for him and hope he comes out of it.

Alcoholics cannot 'control' their problem without giving up alcohol. The alcohol is in control of them, not the other way around.

eh you can't really help, you as a friend can't tackle his alcoholism. just i guess try to offer him alternatives to drinking? try getting him hooked on water
