my friend wakes up every day in a haze and then he shuffles around with his eyes rolled back in his head moaning all day until he can get a "fix" and then he is more fun but also more stumbly until he falls "asleep" in a crumpled heap in the middle of the floor. how can i "help" him without murdering him?

the best way to get rid of an addiction is to replace it with another addiction. like has your friend ever tried meth?

check yourself into rehab asap.

gradually succumbing to alcohol is not worth it, even if it does transform you into some kind of weird gbs martyr.

The only depressant sexier than alcohol is heroin. Make the intro, friend.

This. Also bear in mind that drinking enough to have the shakes and/or be basically constantly drunk, quitting cold turkey can actually be fatal (can cause a seizure). And the end result is likely going to be no drinking ever ever (not for Christmas or birthday or whatever, absolutely zero exceptions), because even drinking a tiny bit can set off the addiction parts of the brain and set off something of a once-you-pop-you-can't-stop effect (which is what is meant when they say "you will always be an alcoholic even if you never drink again"). Serious posting in GBS.

The real question here is why would you want to stop such a thing? alcoholism is not only harmless but there's a tremendous upside there as well.

Alcoholism is caused by a liver disorder where the liver constantly craves alcohol. Inject him with an experimental serum that tricks his liver into thinking it is always processing alcohol.

My D&D group has 4 alcoholics (self included) who have all been off booze for some time now. So, the answer is unusual: he must start playing Dungeons & Dragons.

Take him to a hypnotist and have him hypnotized into thinking water is beer, then just tell him the beer in water bottles is better than the kind in cans.

Inject him with a serum that makes him even smarter. Smart enough to figure out a way to quit drinking.

Maybe you can buy a taser and every time you see him take a drink you taser him. This is called a "Skinner Box"
