Whether you buy him a drink or not though, if he's an alcoholic he will find himself a drink from somewhere. Its sad, but its true; doesn't matter who is buying it, he needs it.

I live in the West of Scotland. If I stopped buying a drink for everybody I suspected of being an alcoholic I'd never enter a bar again:blink:
