You can talk to him about your concerns. Tell him about AA. Then you can go to Alanon for yourself. The best thing you can do is to learn it is not your problem and that your can't stop what he is doing to himself. Let him know your there for him, when he wants to stop to stop hurting himself and that you do care.

You can tell him that you are worried about him and ask if everything is all right. He will probably get mad and think you have no business saying it to him.
But, in the end, he may remember what you said at the right moment. Your words might stop him from doing something stupid, like driving drunk or other very dangerous behavior.
Really, all you have to risk is him being a jerk to you at that moment. I think it is always good to voice concern to people you care about, even if they don't want to hear it right then.
