As long as he is an active alcoholic you're really talking to a bottle. Certainly better that a recovering alcoholic discuss things with him (I'm saying this as a recovering alcoholic). Addicts understand each other and he may hear something, a message of hope, that will cause him to stop drinking. If he admits he's an alcoholic, that's a HUGE step in the right direction.

Getting sober is a huge step for any alcoholic and only he/she can decide, one day, "I'm not going to drink today." At that time you'll be able to get through.
