That sounds like the behaviour of an alcoholic to me. If he had a broken leg or hypothermia you wouldn't hesitate to help him would you? Think of his illness in the same way, except it's more difficult since he probably doesn't want to be healed, and a bit of plaster or warm soup isn't going to fix him.

Hahahah drinking drinking drinking, say it one more time and I say you are a drunk! :lol:

Just enjoy alcohol with discretion and there's nothing wrong with it. Actually in a country where it is mostly illegal, the Western exception should be joyfully used to your finest moments in front of the TV.

Ahhhhhhh thats life...after a hard day of work

Sounds like your friend is suffering from the ALCHOLISIM! It is both combined with a mental obsession and pysical addiction. There is nothing
you can do for him until he hits his own rock bottom, only then will he really seek help. Support groups will give you great advise of how to deal
with this so seek them out as previous posts have given you numbers, you should have no problem.

My brother is 2yrs sober down to AA, but the situation before that got pretty grave before he accepted he was an alcholic. There is one thing
admitting it but it is the acceptance that really counts.

Best of luck,

Crewingb.

Here we go again, heading for the fight club soon :!:

I have to apologize. My words were not appropriately selected and directed. After reading this twice, it looks racist, but the intention is to these two 'foulmouths' MB and UAEkid on DF who happen to be muslim.

I would like to apologize to every muslim that feels offended. Not my intention to generalize or talk racist. Cause I'm not.

Again, my apologies to everyone who reads this wrongly.

Thank you
