Asked for Male, 62 Years

My father aged 62 years has been addicted to alcohol for the past 5 years. He has a fatty liver condition for which doctors have prescribed medicines to be taken on daily basis. But he took the medicine for just 1-2weeks. He also forgets things very frequently. He drinks almost 500ml in a day. Recently he is not eating food properly and mostly sleeping throughout the day.
