2 bottles per day is too much. It might be difficult to treat him as out patient. Find out a nearest Deaddiction centre, which is licensed and has psychiatrist to treat and get him admitted there, his liver function test and other testsmight be needed to adjust the dosage of medications during detoxification and further de-addiction. All the best.

Dear lybrate-user,
Good that you know alcohol is causing dyspepsia and GERD. You must be knowing the treatment also- STOP alcohol.
If you have any difficulty in stopping alcohol, please take the help of doctors. They give you vitamins and benzodiazepines for withdrawal symptoms, they give anti craving tablets for 9-12 months to reduce your craving for alcohol. They may make you get aversion to alcohol with disulfiram, if needed.

Dear lybrate-user,
Disulfiram (antabuse) reacts with alcohol to make acetaldehyde which is a poison. So if you take antabuse, you should be absolutely sure that you will not drink alcohol in any form - not even a teaspoonful. Carry with you a card always to say that you are on Antabuse. Inform a close friend and family member that you are on antabuse.
However you can not buy antabuse on your own. A psychiatrist only prescribe or dispense it. She/he will give you all the precautions to be...more
