Question

How do I confront my brother about his drinking problem?

Answer 1

Let him admit to himself, not to you, that he has a drinking problem.

Answer 2

dont. talk to a drug conselor. you and other people should do it intervention style. that way there is less chance of him freaking out and other people will be there to support you.  

Answer 3

Just straight up point blank. Ask him if he wants help if he does then call your local AA, they can send a person in recovery to go talk to him. You can go to AL ANON for youself, they do have several meetings in every city. Just google AL Anon and your town and it should pull up listings. You can email me anytime if you'd like to talk [e-mail] I will keep your brother in my prayers.
