Keep kids safe: If someone is repeatedly driving while under the influence, i would first contact police authorities to see what can be done to stop this behavior immediately. Regarding alcoholism, get a primary care doc involved. He/she can help in several ways: referral to support groups like aa, ordering meds like campral, assessing nutritional status/liver function/etc, managing withdrawal, etc.

Immediate action: This is a very serious medical and legal problem. The police may have to be called into this. Many lives are at risk. I suggest immediately discussing this problem with your Family Physician who will be in a position to suggest a treatment program and any necessary legal action.
