my alcoholic brother

Don't blame his drinking on his "stupid wife giving him a credit card". He's an adult...he's made the choice.
He doesn't have alcohol poisoning....he has cirhossis of the liver.

first of all i grew up with alcoholic my mother you and your family need to stop it now or he will die have your mother sign him into a rehab and if he wont go call the police say its for his own good and yes they will do that
and yes it sound like poison to me if he doesnt get help he will die if he is married his wife needs to sign him in get him help now

You need to contact Alanon.

You need to find medical help for your brother: Google "Community Health Centers" to find the master Web site of government-run health clinics that will see anyone, regardless of their ability to pay. You can drill down to find the location of a clinic near you

I know someone that became allergic to alcohol. It is dangerous and it can kill you if your throat closes from the angio-edema. He was afraid when it happened to him. He wouldn't drink for long periods, then he would do it again. He ended up in the hospital to control his symptoms from it.

First, he is an ADULT and made his own choices. If he had alcohol poisioning, he would likely die right away not days, weeks or months later. Sorry, to say but there is NOTHING you can do or say to him to help him see his ways. He will NOT do anything to stop the drinking until he is ready and he may die before that happens. He could had cirrosis of the liver and his body is shutting down. There is NO ONE to blame for his problems but HIM. The wife is not to blame for giving him her credit card to use on vacation. When an alcoholic wants alcohol, lack of money is NOT going to stop them, they will find a way. Some will drink mouth wash or cough syrup because a lot of those have alcohol in them. You can try an intervention, but he will not get help until he is ready and he cannot be forced to stop drinking. Alcoholism is a horrible and deadly disease.
