His chances aren't good (maybe a 30% chance) but if he survives, he can never ever drink again which will be hard for him because he would normally drink a case of beer a day.
Does anyone know of any good vitamins, therapies, etc. that could help? My family is just grasping at straws but I thought I'd ask.

A lot depends on how much damage has been done, how long he's been doing it, his age, and what kind of physical shape he's in.
I was diagnosed with alcoholic hepatitis in 1981; I had been severely abusing alcohol, 2-3 quarts of hard liquor a day. My eyes and skin had turned yellowish. I quit drinking and my liver repaired itself quickly.
I did go back to abusing alcohol for a time, but never to that level, never had a return of those symptoms and I somehow survived, but I wouldn't suggest trying it, I'm just mentioning this to let you know that the liver can regenerate.

If he has Hepatitis, it's probably hep-C and he has cirrhosis, which is scaring of the liver. If he has any active, living tissue in his liver it can regenerate itself; however, if he has Hep-C (ask the doctor) it will be a rough road for him. Milk Thistle is suppose to be good for the liver. I suggest you ask the doctor what type of Hepatitis he has because it will make a vast difference in his therapy. If it's Hep-C, there is no cure and the treatments are almost as bad as the disease itself. God Bless You all.

If he are diagnosed with alcoholic hepatitis, you will need to stop drinking. By avoiding alcohol, you may be able to reverse the damage that was done to your liver.
Even if the damage is too severe to reverse, you should still quit drinking to prevent further harm to your liver.
I has a friend who used to suffer from Alcoholic Liver Disease, he has used the treatment based on a e- book, so it really effectively in a short time, he becomes heathier. you can have reference on link here:

nope hepatitis is in the liver ounce you got it you have it my mom had it hepatitis A-B, just be sure when you are around him you dont drink out of the same glass or use the same fork or spoon that he uses and be careful about who kissing him on the lips because hepatitis is very contuses especially the Sylvia and if he has a cold or if he cough a lot especially around children ask him to wear a mask and always wash your hands

From what you say, it looks like he is at end-stage liver disease. You are right, the only way he has a chance to survive is to never drink again.(only if he has any functioning liver left). They of course wont do a transplant on a drinker either. Vit's,etc. wouldnt do any good at this point (i dont think) because his liver probably cant metabolize things now. The liver can regenerate but that depends on how bad it is and if he changes his life style.

Whenever you can prevent 500 calorie consumption each day you'll be able to shed some sort of single lb every week.

Bake a healthy breakfast early in advance to ensure you don't grab a sugary scone on the run.
