Antabuse will make him violently ill and throw up if he drinks but he has to take the pills every day. To be honest, they have to want to change before taking any other steps so accept what happens whichever path they take

I have heard about this... but yeah they have to take the pills every day or it won't work. So... they have to want to get better.

If I wanted to be violently ill and throw up everyday, I'd just keep drinking

Had no affect on me. Never got sick

He needs to get into rehab where they can give him something to help him sleep. Night was my biggest fear, couldn't go to bed sober. They'll probably put him on Seroquel or something similar.

If he doesn't want to go to rehab there's nothing you can do. Just don't disappear though, hang in there and he'll remember that when he does get sober.
