Do you ever see him driving around when you know or suspect him to be drunk?

If so just call the cops on him.

Otherwise just stop associating with him.

Unfortunately, i think the best outcome is in the court system after being busted for DUI. Worst case he kills someone else and/or himself. I had a family member addict and we finally called the cops when she was high and had her arrested and charged. Court mandated rehab/testing and she’s been clean for 10yrs and recently graduated from Nursing school with a great job. Tough love may be the only hope. She hated all of us for years but it was worth it.

I agree w Duffy - call the cops if/when you know he’s drinking and driving and the let system take a shot at him.

Good luck.

Its a professional relationship, albeit a laid back one. I dont associate with him in any other capacity.

He needs professional help. Getting caught by the cops will potentially get him off the road for a bit. The one or two people I know or knew like him will keep driving. Look at all the people you see who hurt someone and it’s discovered multiplied DUIs.

I worked with a guy who had 4 or 5 DUIs. Last one fell asleep and his car ended up in someone’s house. Years later he decided to get his license again , “I’ll never drink and drive again”. Took a few weeks before he was back at it.
Knew another guy who did time for killing someone in an accident DUI. Back at it a year or two after getting out.

Best solution is he quits drinking.

It will be difficult to do that.

I HATE drunk driving. Ive known 2 people who died that way. One was a passenger, and the car went off the road and hit the light pole in front of her cousins house. Wasnt headed there, just a coincidence. The crash woke up the cousin who went outside to find her dead realitive in a banged up car. hell of a thing.

can you pre-emptively call the cops / write a letter about the plate number, where/when he tends to drink, and what you know of this history? tell them your suspicions?

It’s a horrible topic. My wife and kids were hit head on a few yrs ago by a wrong way driver who was beyond wasted. Thankfully no one died.

I can’t think of any other ideas besides calling the cops on him if you see it. I cannot see a confrontation being effective at all. Tough situation.

If you really want to handle this you need to perform a preemptive strike:

Meet him at a bar. Use some kind of ruse to get him there. Do some shots. Make sure you are both drunk... 10 -20 minutes before you both are going to leave have your S/O show up to pick you up. Do another shot for the road.

Call the cops as soon as you leave and report the bar/his car/license plate and the way he will be driving.

Otherwise just let him drive drunk until he kills a family and /or himself.

Your choice.
