thanks for the reply, there is almost no way for him to get alcohol, as we have not given him any money so he cannot get the urge and go get it or have someone get it for him, all his neighbors are on board and will not give him any...he can hardly walk, he has no car....so really no one will give him alcohol, he claims he does not want any, yet he asks for one, just because....we tell him he can never drink again, and he says he understands it would kill him, yet I do not think he gets it.........he has a feeding tube that is dispensed 24 hrs a day, w his formula 3000 calories...he cannot eat so how can he get more protein? his dr is taking him off most all the vitamins cause he says he does not need them, but I thought those were the best things to keep?!
