Approaching an Alcoholic

He doesnt sound like an alchoholic to me. I've met a few and the best way to describe them is spun. A faraway look in thier eyes, a beer in their hands. Binge drinking 7 days a week is not the same as being an alcoholic, albeit on the track to becoming one. If it isnt affecting his life/job it doesnt seem likethatbig a deal.

There is such thing as a functioning alcoholic you know. To OP, there really is nothing that you can do for him. He has to hit rock bottom before he can realize that he needs to make the decision to admit his problem. It is unfortunate, but a reality.
