Try to make him see reason why he need to quit.

You can't. The final decision lies with the person in question.

This is a very big problem that needs to be urgently addressed. My sister has been living in the USA for a long time and at one time she also began to abuse alcohol. So then her boyfriend made her call alcoholic helpline AddictionResource where the staff of this line were able to help her. They gave her full support, listened to her, gave a lot of good advice and at the end sent her for treatment to a rehabilitation center. By the way, these services are free and available throughout the country.
