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.

Derailing your post below:

When i was like 11 years old, my mom would deport me back to the motherland every summer, i stayed on a backyard farm with my moms friends.

The dad, liked to drink.
The mother, did not like that the dad liked to drink.

I had two whole months of doing nothing, a couple times a week i would run down to the corner store with like 20c that i would find on the ground to buy bubble gum or whatever.

Sometimes the dad would see me leaving, so he would "take out the trash" in the exact same time.

He would catch me just outside their complex door, or such and it would go like this: "hey HEY donk, wait up! i have an extra 60c for you, if you just bring me back a bottle, but be QUICK!, i only have a few minutes before the wife starts asking questions!"

So anyways i would run down with my extra 60c, super excited, get to the corner store, pick up a 2L bottle of beer, and some extra gum or candy for myself, then run back to the front of the gate where the dad was waiting for me. (Yes they will sell to beer kids in ukraine, they dont care, same goes for cigarette)

By the time i got to the gate, i was greeted with the biggest smile from the dad, eyes glossy, soul glowing, the best part was watching him CHUG the shit out of this 2L bottle within seconds, i looked up at him, like a god, chugging that shit as if it was his last meal.

Every. Time.
I wish that man was your father just to see how you would have turned out lol

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.

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.

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.
