it is normal. musicians lead a nasty life. alcohol on a regular basis affects you severly. tell him to smoke pot instead. seriously.

Question by Spaced Frehley: How can I convince a 27 year old lady that she needs alcohol rehab and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings?
She is a brilliant girl when sober, but glass in hand she is a fall-down drunk everyday who blacks out and says and does the worst things while drunk or blacked-out. She is a chain smoker too and I fear she is going to light herself on fire on of these times, or fall out her 3rd story balcony, or worse.

Question by Sophie: My friend is 13. How can I convince her to stop drinking alcohol so much?
my best friend is 13 and she drinks a lot. She says she has a lot of problems. Ok so I know for sure she’s exaggerating because she tells me all her problems and there nothing important. But she says she drinks because she can’t smoke so she drinks to stop the smoke cravings. I dont want her to become somebody who depends on drinks and cigarettes. What can I say to her to convince her to stop?

Question by phillip h: How do I convince my bestfriend to go to an alcohol rehab center?
My bestfriend obviously hates the idea of going to an alcohol rehab center, and says he doesn’t need it. He even assures that all is going pretty well. But everybody knows he’s an alcoholic and definitely things are worse than ever. He spends a lot of money for his liquor and has lost two jobs in only a month’s time. He’s even been violent lately and curses people too often. I know he’s behaving badly, so I want him to get treated before somebody sues him and sends him to jail. Are there any ideas on how I can convince him?

been there. done that. you can’t MAKE him do anything, especially going into rehab. It has GOT to be something he chooses to do, and chooses to stick with. You can always encourage him though. You may want to try talking to his family about an intervention?
