Look At The Symptoms: End stage alcoholism is marked by a total loss of control in all aspects of the alcoholic's life including relationships, employment, physical and mental health. The individual cannot stop drinking as attempts to stop cause severe withdrawal symptoms such as hallucinations delirium tremens, or seizures. Multi-organ failure is common and mortality rates are very high. Treatment must be sought.

See below: If your husband cannot stop drinking despite negative consequences than he is alcoholic. Although there are increased medical complications as this goes on for longer periods, there is no concept of "end stage"as anyone can potentially be helped.

Alcoholism: Can't stop inspite of awareness of damages, plus end-stage multiorgan damages such as liver cirrhosis.
