Antabuse will make him violently ill and throw up if he drinks but he has to take the pills every day.

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.
