    Hello Robert
    All of the advice given so far in response to your question seems
    good to me, however I would also add:
    Coming off alcohol is mostly an extremely traumatic and in some
    cases, life-threatening ordeal. Long-term heavy drinkers are best
    advised to seek professional help, and may have to stop or reduce
    their intake under close clinical supervision. Without any more
    details to hand I don't know your friends situation well enough to
    add more than this. If in doubt, he needs to consult with a doctor or
    specialist centre as well as applying some/all of the good advice
    given in earlier emails.

    As a further word of advice I would like to add that helping an
    alcohol addict along their path of recovery can be a most traumatic
    and draining experience for the person trying to help. This is
    because long-term heavy use of alcohol distorts the psychology as
    well as the physiology of the sufferer. To the onlooker, the
    behaviour is perplexing, frustrating and extremely demending to say
    the least. Strong boundaries and sheer nerves of steel are called
    for, otherwise you could be in for a very unpleasant ride! Through no
    fault of his own, your friend is likely to put you through a real
    emotional mangle if you allow him to.

    Hope this advice does not seem to harsh or patronising - just the
    experience of someone who works with this issue professionally.

    Best wishes, Tim
