Hello, He is having alcohol dependence. Getting irritated, fighting, loss of appetite, weight loss these all are complications of alcohol use. For stopping alcohol use most important thing is persistent motivation, family support and good detoxification measure. If tried leaving on own he will face withdrawal symptoms.

Talk to him about your worries, his health and seek psychiatric help. Delaying treatment will worsen his health and will put family in more burden. He might need admission.

Alcohol dependence involves intense craving or desire to drink alcohol. People drink for pleasure or rationalize it on external factors like family problems, work tension, etc. They drink continuously, i.e. Almost daily or even weekly once or twice with withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, bodily damage, etc. Due to alcohol they and/ or others are affected significantly. You need to consult a psychiatrist and go for 3 steps of de addiction. 1st is detoxification, when alcohol is stopped and the withdrawal is made smooth with minimal discomfort, 2 nd is maintenance and further deaddiction when the physical problems and psychological state of the individual is maintained and anti-craving drugs started 3 rd rehabilitation, when relapse prevention is the goal, while maintaining deaddiction. All the best.
