I have a part time handyman that has worked for me for the past 12 years. Man can do ANYTHING. He is an alcohol abuser. Most days he drinks while working. Won't admit it but of course you can smell it as soon as he walks near you. I have tried everything to get him to stop. He won't seek professional help. It's affecting his oral health greatly as most of his teeth now need to be pulled and he says he's in constant pain thereby giving him another excuse to drink. Of course he doesn't have ins and lives day to day. Yesterday I made an appt with my dentist to see him. He had to rearrange his schedule. I tried all day and this am to reach my friend but I guess he went on a drinking spree so I just had to call and cancel.

I know some of you have experience in dealing with alcohol issues so HELP, what can I do?
