If he gets a doctor to prescribe antabuse he will be able to quit. It is a pill which he takes daily, and it gives him the symptoms of a heart attack if he has only one beer. My son asked the doctor what would happen if he drank more than one beer, and she said, "you won't get the chance." He was in a monitored court ordered program and he had to take antabuse in the presence of a court officer each day. It did cure him of his habit. And he tested it, with one beer, boy was he sick. It was frightening.
