If you seen him sneaking drinks, you don't need an excuse just bring it up... you don't even need to bring up the liver problem just say hey if you're hiding your drinking there's a problem bro are you gonna do something about it or what's your long term plan here you know it's bad for our health as we get older... something like that and just take it form there? He might even tell you about the liver issues on his own if they're true. |

Hang out with him for a full day. Sneak your friend 30g lactulose with each meal, ensure he's had 3 bowel movements, then try talking to him during after dinner dessert about drinking too much. |
^why would shitting himself to death make him more receptive to comments about his drinking ? P.s I’ll never drink anything at your house |
Stay out of it if he's not family or a close friend. If you feel the need to be a busybody, tell your wife to tell his wife to stop fucking him until he stops drinking. |

Please bring some to the meet. |
If someone’s sneaking drinks, I’d say something. Depends on the relationship how I’d address it, but I would regardless. |
I'd say something man, depending on how close you are to this guy. If you're close friends it behooves you to talk to him, even from the angle of you being worried about him, and caring for his health. You might be a bit of a busybody Peanut, but you sound like a good guy. It's corny and been said many times, but men should be more comfortable talking to their friends about how they feel. |
Stage an intervention have it devolve into this and record it |
^best show ever made on TV.... the pacific mini series and band of brothers are a close 2nd and 3rd. |
end of the day, the change has to come from himself. i've seen patients drink to the point where they get seizures and even that isn't enough to stop them. many of them know they're on the path to death's door and STILL won't stop. I had one pt who was my age and she eventually passed away in ICU. |
Not a bad way to go. I’ll make sure to not call you spoon when I decide to kick the bucket. Just give me a huge bag of cocaine and leave me alone. |
we don't exactly have bags of blow to give to pts lol it's a lot of suffering before you get to that bed in ICU though, not as easy as it may have sounded. |

If that doesn't work, there's definitely a stigma against alcohol these days, particularly among middle-aged men. Send him a few YouTube clips about middle-aged men cutting back alcohol consumption, self-improvement, etc. and let the algorithm do its work. |

Thanks for the input. I feel you guys are right, I always seem to get too involved with peoples lives. He hasn't told me about his condition so he's either ashamed to tell me or he doesn't want to tell me. I'm going to see him on Wednesday night actually, my other buddy has a check engine light on his 2004 X3 so it's just an excuse to all hang out. I don't know sh*t about cars, but I like to hang around. I can't imaging he'll bring it up then, but the most i'll do is just ask him how things are going and leave it at that. Even if he tells me, I still wouldn't know what to tell the guy. I think alcoholics know they shouldn't be drinking. He has two young boys, four and one. So there is definitely some incentive to stop drinking, but like some of you said, gambling and alcohol is a tough vice to get rid of. |
Why don't you try fixing your friend's X3 you busy body! Don't forget to bring the headlight blinker fluid! :seriously: |
This sounds like a horrible plan, fixing a BMW will drive anyone to drink |
:lonely: |

usually the specialist will say YOU ARE FUCKING GOING TO DIE and most people will quit straight up if they have something important in life |
its not so hard, chop his hands off then he cant drink or gamble. easy peasy. |

A few years back I got fired from my job (I, as a VP, very undiplomatically and publicly called bullshit about some culture stuff that the head of HR really cared about and it turned out she was dating the CEO) - so two of the guys in my group chat go on Cameo and hired William Hung to record a video to console me. Here it is in all its glory: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H5H...ew?usp=sharing Best thing anyone has ever gotten me. |
You bang like every girl in history? :pokerface: |
