why not change your name to tryingtohelpYOU? get the focus off of him.
it's not uncommon for those who abuse drink to have health issues. mine would bleed from the nose for days. it's alarming, all that blood. you cry out dear god he is really sick and then they keep drinking and when they're not sick, they are abusive still.
the drink is at the bottom of it. i don't think you can help him get healthy if he is still drinking as drinking a lot cause a decline in health.
