im trying to convince my uncle to stop drinking but he wont listen, it is ruining his body, and i dont want him to get worse, what do i do

answer:

Usually as a child the most you can do is nothing. Sorry to be a buzzkill but elderly people have a SUPER hard time with change.  Going cold turkey is also not recommended because your body soon relies on the alcohol and sudden withdrawal could have negative effects. The only thing i could recommend is limiting his alcohol. such as only taking little by little away from him. But ask your parents. If they don't have a problem with it, then i'm sorry your uncle will might die from a bad liver. But don't worry. This usually happens in a 20-30 year period.

Explanation:

I do have a question, is your uncle an everyday drunk, or does he drink occasionally? This could affect his withdraw from alcohol.

Best you can do is gather what information on the effects of extended drinking has on the human body you can and show it to him. But drinking is a pretty tough addiction to beat, so just give him time and try to support him, I hope everything works out for you.
