You do not state how much alcohol he consumes. Sometimes, rather innocently many wives believe that if a man drinks, he is an alcoholic and label him so. This has often been proved wrong and has also'made' an alcoholic out of one who is not by the mere suggestion and insistence of it.

Dear lybrate-user,
When you go on enhancing your motivational level to stop drinking, it is possible. Doctors can help help you to treat the withdrawal symptoms, give you anti craving tablets or give aversion tablet like Disulfiram also. Of course doctors will investigate and treat the medical and mental disorders associated with alcohol consumption.
