Does he sound like a alcoholic?

[Confused2015xxx]

My sisters boyfriend doesn't drink during the week but as soon as Friday night arrives he wil drink and drink till Sunday night arrives.
He turns nasty on her saying he doesn't love her,tells her his family all hate her( adds a lot of swear words in there)
Then during the week he is miserable as sin and doesn't talk to her.
She is asking for advice if he could be a alcoholic.
Could he? I don't want to worry her but he could just be unhappy.
How would you help?

I was thinking of getting some leaflets from the doctors for her.

He may well be, but even if he's not he sounds vile, why does she stay with him?

Whether or not he has a physical addiction, he is certainly a problem drinker.

Do they live together? Have DCs? Can you help her leave?

She loves him and they have a kid together.
I don't like him but she takes no notice of me.
I just let her get on with it now.

He sounds like a cunt. He's outwardly abusive at the weekend and swaps to passive aggressive abuse during the week.

She would never leave him,simple reason she loves him.
She laughs it off "oh drunk again" as if it's funny.
I've witnessed the hate he has for her when drunk.

He used to be a lovely bloke(or so we thought) it's just the last year or two he has changed.
Whether he has problems who knows.

Who cares if he is? She can't fix it, he is the only one Who can fix it.

She can only decide that she doesn't deserve his drunken abuse or his sober abuse. Stop looking for answers and start looking for happiness for herself.

She should leave.

He sounds like he's got a drink problem, yes.

He's also got a verbal abuse problem.

I never understand women who use 'love' to justify staying with an arsehole. So what if she 'loves' him? It's irrelevant.

You cannot help anyone who ultimately does not want to be helped. I would keep the door open for her though.

Her BF is abusive to her and by turn their son. Her "love" for him is more likely instead to be an unhealthy co-dependency.

I'm worried one day he might turn physical.
I don't think he would but you can never be sure can you.
She asks for advice I give her it but if she doesn't like my advice I get accused of being a busy body.

I think he masks his problems with the booze which isn't the answer.
She's told him time and time again if your not happy with me leave.

He does not have to hit her to hurt her and he may well become physically abusive over time too.

How old is their child?.

He just sounds like a vile drunk, alcohol is also a depressant hence the dark moods following the excessive drinking. I couldn't live like this, but your Sister seems very accepting of his behaviour and all you can do is be there for her.

6 months old the baby.
It's only since she was pregnant he turned like this,whether it was a shock I don't know.
I guess you could analyse it till the cows come home.
They could come stay with me but she refuses.
Rang her last night and she was laughing about how he told her he hated her and she reminder him of a female bin laden.
Wtf
I can't stand drunks even when they happy never mind vile.

It seems a lot of abusive men show their true colours when their partner is pregnant, then its downhill all the way.

Thing is, its you asking for the advice.
From your post, she doesn't appear to have a problem with him ,( laughs when he is drunk!).
You could talk to her till you're blue in the face and chances are she won't listen to you. If she doesn't want help, it really isn't your problem.
Sometimes what's staring us in the face and is blatantly obvious he's not treating her right, because she luuuuvvvvs him, she won't listen to a word you say, you can only support when she asks you to.
