How do you help an alcoholic father who finds "enjoyment" in his brewing hobby? I really don't know what to do.
Please help....

I think that's a question for a professional and not people who hang out on a site that is specific to making alcoholic beverages.

Alcoholism is a debilitating condition that often requires treatment even rehab

Yes. We are actually considering that step. Somehow, looking around internet has helped me look into other possibilities. Recently, I visited BetterHelp and it is a good site to go to when matters of relationships are hard to handle.

There are also professional social workers and recognized self help groups (Al -Anon, for example) that can help family members deal with "relationship" issues in the context of addictions.
