Question:
Does anyone know what to do when a family member drinks non-stop 24/7? Is it bad for the body, I am not sure?
Can someone explain what happens to the body under these conditions and or any suggestions on to stop violent behavior?
Answers:
It is very bad for the body, psychologically and can lead to blackouts and violence. If left unchecked it can tear families apart.
Unfortunately, it is an illness and an addiction and the only really way someone can seek to stop is by wanting to and they will desperately need the support of those close to them - though if it's that extreme they may well have pushed everyone away and that will only accelerate their self-destructive addiction.
There is plenty of help and support out there from group based projects such as Alcoholics Anonymous and also medical assistance - but it can only help if the person is prepared to accept there is a problem - but get in touch with Alcoholics Anonymous and they will send you some literature that will help you better understand the illness.
Good luck
