your brother can only help himself,however you & your family can organize an intervention to tell him how his drinking has hurt you & plead with him to get help, you can also go to al-anon meetings ( meetings for family members of alcoholics) or ala-teen for the younger family members, so that they can learn that it is not their fault that thier sibling is an alcoholic and these meetings can also help teach you to not enable his drinking. Good luck to you I wish your family well! It is a very hard obstacle in life, but the earlier he gets treatment, the better his life will be!

If your brother doesn't want the help, HE probably doesn't think HE has a problem, and until HE does, you can't do it for him. But, YOU can attend Al-Anon to help yourself. Maybe you can suggest taking him to an AA meeting, There he will meet others with the same disease, they will welcome him as a newcomer, but HE has to recognize that something is not right. I'll keep him in my prayers. Another suggestion would be call the nearest De-tox hospital, and see if they can do an intervention...Call AA in your phone book and ask for someone to do a 12th step call on him before he dies.

Stage an intervention with his family and friends and give the ultimatum that if he doesn't get help he's cut off from all of you. But you HAVE to mean it!
I suggest you take him to Alcoholics Annonymous or a detox centre.

i agree with what everyone else has said, and if you think it is that urgent or that bad- i would call your neareset detox center and they can help you. He probably should spend a couple days in detox and then make decisions after he is sober. If you don't know how to find the number for detox, just call the police station and ask them- they will know....

There is no simple answer to this question.
Take him to an AA meeting and be his sponsor.
There should also be many family psyciatrist around town that do great one on one counseling.
The best thing you can do is be there for him, throughout the entire ordeal.

first he needs to be treated with sympathy, it is a sickness and he has to be treated like a patient, you need to be patient and see that he is taken to a good doc. get him involved in a good hobby and keep him busy and occupied. find out the nearest alcoholic annonymus and speak to them

Ask him not to drink alone or with lower status person & never discuss after drink.
