Unfortunately: No matter how much you care - you can't control his behavior. Suggest that you express your concerns to him in a non-judgmental way. You can encourage him to see an addiction medicine specialist & to attend alcoholics anonymous. You might even offer to drive him to a meeting or to attend an open meeting with him. But - you are not responsible for whatever decisions he makes regarding alcohol use.
