Codependent Alcoholism?

I can't put the name of what I'm describing other than 'co-dependent alcoholism'.
I know someone who is an alcoholic, and it seems everyone this person is in a relationship with, they suddenly becomes a raging drunk and very needy towards this person, their alcoholism is also an addiction to one another if that makes sense.
I was wondering if this is common, if there is a term for it, and if there is any literature on it specifically or if it really is a strong case of alcoholism mixed with co-dependence. Thanks.
