Bottle drinker: Cut the nipple to the bottle and show him it doesnt work anymore. It npmay take several days for him to understand, but stand your ground. Before putting him to bed read him stories that have endings to them.

Put water in it: Infants are pattern driven and find change difficult. If you put water in the bottle it becomes boreing but may fill a self settling need. It will also keep him hydrated until he comes around. If you put the good stuff in a hard nose sippy cup and leave a few empties around the house as reminders, he can decide to change onn his own terms.
