How does he afford the booze? Alcoholism is expensive too.

EDIT: yes I know its a serious problem, but as you said only the friend can help himself. PLUS, this guy is wanting to know about “free” programs – looking for a handout, and while it may be for a good cause, I was just making the point that his friend obviously has the money for a rehab program, but he has to stop buying the booze.

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?
