Helping a Marine neighbor out

[ezbtr]

He's about 40, 100% retired , marsoc, great guy out since 2008, the penultimate of what the Corps strived for, did his TIME! 3 . drinks like a fish, great family, son walks my dogs, nice wife, an electrician, all good but POUNDS beers, we did get hammered the other night and I realize I am NOT him 40 anymore I am 62!!!! Trying to get him some help, got a close neighbor Army, pointed me to a good local American legion , he NEEDS to stand down on the booze, admittedly, trying to push him in the right direction - yeah we got soused at my house 4 doors up.....I know I quit a LOT on my own......would love thoughts

Best intentions , tell ya what ezbtr , if I was that guy and had got on the pi55 with you to the point that you both got hammered .... and then you came to me ( best of intentions ) and suggested that I needed to ease up on the pi55....Id probly think you had a bloody cheek and not take t all that well .
Is he healthy , can he afford it ? .
Let him run loose for a bit and then suggest that he's better company when he's not totally ploughed . If he becomes a problem you'll have to get all honest with him or walk away . You cant save the word
Im 63 , morbidly obese ( according to my Dr ) not rich at all but , type 2 diabetic , chronic AF blood pressure issues , cholesterol issues, grossly unfit but damn I love a beer , I usually average 6 x 330 ml 5% beers a night .
Sounds a bit under hand but if you want to help the guy out your better of working on his Mrs........like if she doesnt have a problem let it go
