how to do an intervention URGENT

OK this is the case... like me, my friend is an alcoholic... but he is "worse" (the problem is the same) He drinks every day untill almost passing out but being very very drunk not able to stand on his feet. taking drugs and sleeping pills to sleep after the drugs. taking all kids of meds to gain control of his body..

I am a strong drinker but believe me this guy drinks like it was water.

a bottle booze and a crate (24 bottles) of beer easy in an evening

I do believe he is trying to kill himself and thats what he says to...

He is only 25 years old has a lovely girlfriend.....

I decided to take action (I know it sounds idiotic being an alcoholic myself) and brought him to my gym to work out which he does very seriously 3-4 times a week now... only to go drinking after and sometimes before workingout

I hav already pointed him too this forum and he has read a few posts.....

Tomorrow at the gym I will tell him I quit drinking alcohol and I am 3 days sober by then... Maybe he wants to quit also (hope so he is a nice guy)

what can I do more..... any ideas?
