Question by \❤/вroĸen wнole\❤/: What is the best way to get through to an alcoholic who’s on a major drinking binge?
My fiance has been an alcoholic for years. Lately it has gotten even more out of control. For the past few days, he has been drinking literally non-stop. When he drinks, he gets furious with me, irrational, paranoid, and completely out of control.

What is the best thing I can do to help him realize how serious his drinking is and snap him out of this?
His dad is an alcoholic, too, so family won’t help.
