I do drink alone, and occasionally get drunk while doing so. But only occasionally.

Drinking alone is fine, getting drunk alone is bad. Most of the time the people that are getting drunk alone have depression problems (I know I do) and drinking like that alone just makes it worse. Having a beer after work or a glass of wine after dinner isn't a bad thing (alone or not), but getting shitty on a bottle of jack by yourself is most likely a big warning flag that something major is wrong. I speak from experience.

Detox, no. Support group, yes. Getting help is great, but that's not alot in comparison to the alcoholics I've seen. If he can do it without help, then more power to him. Exercise will help with getting off the juice. Helps your mind and body.
