Replies hi sarah Posted at 10:42 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 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 ashleyreneen Posted at 10:40 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 Quote: from Count Suckula at 10:39 pm on Dec. 1, 2008 How much is he drinking for you consider him an alcoholic?
