hi
I am Dr Mittal .
I have read your message.
I think the problem is that he is addicted to the alcohol.
All the signs you have suggested are of alcohol dependant person.
You need to get him examined by a gastroenterology specialist and a psychiatry specialist.
Meanwhile, I suggest some tests.
LFT, PT INR, Ultrasound abdomen.
If he is having problems, these tests should surely be abnormal. that may help you convince him that he needs help.
In alcohol dependants , the biggest problem is to make them realize there is a problem.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal

he knows his alcohol addiction and thinks if he quits he will die, but if he don't he will , he wont listen to me or his mom or son he says he has it under control, I am trying to decide what to do I don't want him to lose his job. but He falls down a lot he wont eat and he needs to see a doctor, I want to talk to his doctor but we live in a small town and it is hard to get things done at clinic , without the whole town knowing. Plus he is bipolar , he make up reasons for everything. he has cist all over his back and one on each cheek, He walks and talks in his sleep, since Friday he has drank 5 of the 1.75 liter bottles of vodka.
