Alcoholics Anonymous also helps friends and families of alcoholics (even if the alcoholic is unwilling to attend). This is extremely helpful and I strongly suggest that you look up your closest meeting and give them a call!

Alcoholism is a genetic disorder. Drinking is a behavior. Alcoholism isn't treatable, but it's possible to be an alcoholic and not drink. millions do it.

Yes, but with depression, comes medication, and with meds, you really shouldn't drink. From my personal experience, no, he may never return to the same way he was before, but it will come close once he regulates medication. Sometimes, with some types of depression the medication can be temporary....but ensure the doctor advises him on this, and he doesn't decide on his own to stop them because he "feels fine". Alcohol consumption should cease until he is regulated again, which takes up to 3 weeks once meds begin.
