re: Need Help for an Alcoholic Family Member

How old is he?How long has he been doing this?

Reason I ask is that I've seen someone slowly die from years of continuous Vodka drinking.Straight or with Gatoraide at the end.

One of the greatest guys I've ever known.Everyone loved him.Good looking.Funny.Never hurt anyone4 in his life.Never said hurtful words.Was polite.Was kind to everyone.

He was staying at a mutual buddy's house.Kind of a Rehab for him.My buddy was giving him 1 1/2 oz of Vodka every 4-6 hours.

I saw him a few times and he was crawling out of his skin.I've never seen anyone suffering so.

I gave him zanax.A Doctor gave him Klonapine.At that point the damage was done.He died about 3 months later.

Best of luck with your situation.If you care about them then check in on them.Make sure they're eating.Taking care of themselves.
