He will not quit until he wants to. Also does he know how you feel about his drinking. Communication can never hurt. I agree with others who have answered. He will not quit until he wants to.

There is no way unless he WANTS to get help. You cannot force someone to stop drinking. That have to want to. You can always try to get all of your family members together to force him into rehab. It may work. Keeping in mind that he is only 17.... so he's still technically a minor. Babies having babies.... call social services on him. There is no way unless he WANTS to get help.

Don't support his habits in any way. If he wants money for stuff for the baby refuse - buy stuff for the baby, but never give yr brother any cash. Refuse to speak to him when he's drunk or drinking. Be supportive to his baby's mother as much as you can, but don't support the drunk!!! Be steadfast. He may decide to blame you or some other person for his problems, but it's not your fault and you don't have to take that from him! There’s not a lot you can do until he wants help.

To stop something you are addicted to you have to want to stop AND have the "will" power to do so. Rehab can’t even help unless he wants it to.

Once he admits he has a problem then he can begin to straighten up. There are avenues to take that aren't "rehab". AA meetings and things like that for example. He’s gotta want to stop.
