     Sorry, but the question has to be asked by the drinker; they need to ask themselves what they're getting out of idrinking, and are the side effects worth it.  I used to be a binge drinker 3-4 times/week, then a year ago 2 times/week, and 2 months ago, I decided to quit altogether.  I realized that waking up with a headache in the morning, and possibly doing stupid things while I was drinking was just not what I wanted to do anymore.  And I had been drinking for 30 years.  A person can't quit drinking for anybody except themselves.  They have to make up their mind that they're worth it.

I do not think there is anything you can ask or say to one that would make a difference.  Sadly they have to reach rock bottom and decide that 1st they do indeed have a problem until they do that and admit they do have a problem then next they have to decide they actually want help to get rid of the problem no one can do it for them they can only reach that decision themselves sad to say.

If your friend or loved one is in trouble with alcohol suggest you contact Ala-Non, this is the sister fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous.  The last thing you need to do is get in their face and complain, nag or ask questions.

The alcoholic will only stop drinking when he/she is dead, locked up in jail or in a mental institution.

Suggest you go on-line and look up Ala-non.
