How do you deal with an alcoholic brother?

My boyfriend and I are taking my son (18) and my recently divorced brother (32) on a float trip this weekend. I'm concerned that my brother will drink too much and become angry and defensive as he often does when he drinks too much. We're all sharing a hotel room. I'm not sure how to deal with him if he starts ranting and raving in a druken stupor (and then, of course, won't remember it the next day).How do you deal with an alcoholic brother?
i have a step dad who also drinks to much there isnt much you can do to stop them my advice is to try to keep him busy if its possable to keep his mind off wanting the drink its a habbit that unless the person is willing to stop themselves they wont just be there and maby try to talk with him ask him not to drink on the trip it might helpHow do you deal with an alcoholic brother?

Don't share a room, plain and simple.
Why would you invite someone like that on a fun trip? Make it conditional, that he doesnt drink if he comes with you.
Don't share a room, it's really worth the extra money! Then you can go to your room when he starts up, a trip is not the right time to confront him. However, when you get home you may have enough info to get the family to do an intervention.
new study shows alcoholics will have some sort of mental illness for the rest of there life, sad to say, its facts,, he must help him self, which few really do,, hotel room ? ok
