Stop trying to rescue him. If you are really his friend, you must stop enabling him and let him hit "bottom."

Unfortunately I do not think there is a way legally - as he is not harming anyone, is over 18, and is allowed to live life how he wishes. Most addicts will only stop their behaviour when they really want to (coming from an an ex-addict here). Just offer your friend support, be willing to listen - and I wish you the best.
Please check with other autorities though in your area - in particular groups like the Salvo's, AA etc who would know more than me. i am sure every area has different ways (ie next of kin may be able to intervene etc)

That is disgusting everybody needs to shower. Tell your friend to get help with the drinking That would help your friend greatly and then they could find a job and have a better life.

Wait for him to die. That'll stop just about anyone.
