My father's health is getting worse. He drinks around half of a 750 ml bottle daily sometimes close to the whole thing. He has been drinking for more than 30 years, before that he was into other drugs. He became ill twice in the last 3 years but it was because he wasn't eating and grew very weak. During those years he was drinking alcohol combined with cough syrup. The following days after doing this he would be in bed for 3-4 days not eating only sleeping. I was able to get him off cough syrup, but his drinking is still out of control. When he gets drunk he loses his balance, he seems very confused at times, and he mentally malfunctions he will forget what he's talking about or mid sentence start talking about something else completely different. He finds all of this funny until the next morning when he wakes up and is recovering from the day before. I am hoping he snaps out of this but I need to assume that he is not. I've been staying at the house he lives in but I will be leaving soon. My presence here is really just taking the pressure off himself to change. Although I am leaving I do want to make sure he's taken care of. I have read some of the posts on this forum and it seems my options are limited since alot of facilities do not take care of elders with substance abuse problems. I can see things turning out really bad for him in the next few years what can I do now and what should I prepare for in the future so when things do get bad the damage is somewhat mitigated. (I am single, 38 years old, and no one will help me with this)
