You have a toddler with a drinking problem? Then stop spiking his bottle.
If this is not the case, you posted in the wrong category.

It's really hard to handle a child with that kind of problem (especially if it is your own child)... There are no parents who wanted their child/children to have a miserable life. All they wanted to them is a bright future... So, i suggest that you talk with your son. And know whats the problem. Listen to him. And after that make a solution on what was his problem is all about... Or, if ever the cause of his drinking problems is influenced by around his environment, then tell him that it's not a good habit at all. Make him realize that there is no Good future in drinking... There are a lot of things you can do out there instead of sitting around drinking, making yourself drunk... abusing your own health...Let him join some organizations... or in school, let him join the basketball team or the soccer, so that he could enhance his potential in sports...And don't get too frustrated... the best way is to talk to your son, it would not cost anything... : )

Unless your child is a toddler, in which case there are some serious issues if he is drinking already, the best thing you can do for your son is to be there for him. I went through a period in my life where I made bad choices with alcohol and my parents were always there for me. I know it was hard for them to see me throw my life away but I didn't care about anything at the time. I am so grateful that my parents never turned their back on me.
My dad was always there when I needed him. I just wish that he had lived long enough to see me turn my life around. Then he could have known how much it meant to me.
Just be there for your son.

I think such kind of problems don't appear from one day to another, but since it is already here face it by being strong, I mean I don't know how old your son are but as long as he is drinking don't give him any economic support since every penny he gets would be for drinking alcohol, be strong a person with that kind of problems is a person who lacks discipline, go to the gym with him help him to keep busy and pray for him a lot just God can make real changes in our lives.

all you can do is call an AA group & ask them for some support & guidance, they have groups for the family of people w/ drinking problems . As far as your son , sorry to say, but unless he wakes up & sees that he has a problem & needs help there is nothing that you can do for him. Please call AA for advice, they are in the phone book .

Start by having a sit discussion about what is going on and how it is affecting not just him but everyone around him.Seek professional help,but only if he is ready,pushing may only cause him to drink even more,ultimately you have to let him help himself.

This is a weird category for this question...oh well.
I have been going to alcohol counseling myself and one of the best pieces of info I have received is...they say you can't help someone if they don't want it. But the saying I learned is.. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink...but you can make him thirsty!!! Intervene and drag if necessary his butt to rehab, counseling etc...he may thank you one day.
