how to get some to say they have and drinking problem?
Question:
Answers:
It is very hard to force someone to admit this.
It is more likely that you will have to wait till they realize it themselves.
Most people, when confronted, will deny they have a problem with drinking. The more you press someone, the more vehemently they will deny it!
The clear definition of a 'drinking problem' should be clarified. It is when drinking starts affecting things in a persons life (such as his job or marriage) negatively.
You will not get someone to admit they have a problem unless they want to admit it!

Take a homevideo camera, shoot him while being drunk.
Then show him later the tape.
They will have to do that on their own. You can get someone to say it, but to really understand - they have to figure that one out. You can't unfortunately. They have to come to their own terms with it & even if they do admit they have a long road ahead of them. Admitting is the first step to recover.
be there friend. Friends tell friends everything, because they trust them. Don't be there parent, they obviously don't trust them. They have never had good role models in there life.
say it just the way it is girl
That's tuff. Most people who have drinking problem won't admit it out right. I would suggest a visit to a counselor that is trained to handle these types of situations and they maybe able to help this person admit that they do have a problem and get the correct treatment. The first thing to understand is that you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.
Secondly is you need to talk to them when they are not inhebriated with alcohol so they have a rational reaction to what your concern is.
If you can't be around them and they refuse to get help it is best to let them live their life without you in it. You will only become more stressed over something that you just can't control.
It's difficult; in my experience, they just grow aggressive.
Dare them to spend 24 hours with you, non-stop, without drinking, althouth then they would also become very grumpy, and maybe vicious. It's a sad situation.
A good try would be to seriously talk to them while they are still sober - not threatening, not unpleasant, just serious talk. That is not easy (my mother's current partner is fully drunk by 10 a.m.), but if they care about you, they may listen.
Do an intervention in which that person is invited to a home that contains his family, close friends and a intervention therapist.
The therapist will have organized the session and will direct the agenda.
There usually will be an offer extended to the alcohol abusive to join a clinic to help him 'dry' out.
