Geeze, lock up the wine, at least!

Regarding social services-- if you are serious about that, set a deadline for HIM to get the help he needs from THEM, and when he fails to meet your deadline, ask him to leave. If he does not, call the coppers and have them chuck him out. They will make sure he gets hooked up with social services faster than s.s. will listen to YOU.

The sad truth is, you can't help people when they are stuck in the mud-- the inertia is more than one person can usually overcome. But the System can, and will, and might. If you are harboring him to be nice-- stop, because he will get help quicker if he is twisting in the wind.
