Hello lybrate-user, Alcohol addiction is a disease not just a habit. We have a comprehensive treatment strategy for alcohol dependence management. A no. Of patients refrain from visiting psychaitrist due to some lack of knowlege. Quiting alcohol is difficult due to withdrawal symptoms like tremors, ghabrahat, lack of sleep etc. Tell your brother with medicines he wouldnot feel these symptoms and he would be able to remain off alchohol without any problem. Loose motions are due to ill effect of alcohol on his internal organs like pancrease. You can have a private consult with me if you need my help.
