I am asking on behalf of a friend who wants to know how to get her BF to stop drinking so much. Because when he does he gets very drunk and don't remember himself and always does something stupid. Plz no comments about leaving him i tried that line. Any other suggestions?

Look, you have to be willing to leave, for nothing else will matter.
Unless he absolutely gets the snot beat out of him one time when drunk

Maybe get him involved in some activities? Where does he drink? At home, at a bar? Makes things different too. Depending where he's going and why he feels the need...

she can't stop him dear..........he has to want to stop. he is an alcoholic and as such, he must admit that to himself and seek help....... HIMSELF.
my dad has been an alcoholic for 40 years now and he has no plans on changing........despite how much everyone has begged him to stop over the years.......why?.....because he does not believe he has a problem and or won't admit it to himself. as such, he has lost numerous jobs, been to jail several times ( for disorderly conduct while drunk), has lost his house, ruined family and friends relationships with him.
he is now a 58 year old man living on minimum wage in a boarding house.........all because of his drinking...........but he still does not think he has a problem with alcohol.
understand?

The only way would be an ultimatum. You can't make someone stop drinking unless they want to or have some reason to quit. The only reason may be the risk of losing his GF.

she should tell him that she loses A LOT of respect for him when he gets drunk. it's probably a major turn off for her & she should let him know exactly how she feels. i wouldn't tell her to just leave him, but she should tell him that she might breakup with him if he keeps it up. if he isn't gonna respect his girlfriend's simple wish (that will benefit him), he's not worth having in the first place.

tell your "friend" to let her bf know that if he drinks himself stupid one more time, she's gonna beat him or leave him!
