One way to help your friend is by changing the undrestanding of things of life differently, habits are changed gradually, and this cannot be done by allowing him to drink outside the house, so make it possible to change it from outside drinking to with in the observation of the partner (wife) succeed in this and half the problem is solved. Now start conversation which he likes and the important thing is to get him involved, so choose the topics he likes, there is one more advantage of bringing him home he would not like to teach drinking to his children! thus use this excuse to delay the starting till they are asleep. this along with the conservation will gradually reduce the amount he will drink, this is becasue if you can make him talk then he cannot drink as well. use the famous trick in the world praise him when he says something nice or just make up an understanding that changes things to nice. when he recognizes his worth and contribution he may change.
