Best Answer

If you live with them, try to wain their use to a pattern, leaving at least one sober hour, during which you can tell them they cannot have a drink until they handle themselves. They will likely be very abrasive when not intoxicated, but you have to be firm. When they do take a shower, compliment them, reinforce the behaviour with affection. The idea would be to help them recover a bit of self esteem.
