Alcoholics are self-centered, egotistical maniacs. Only while sobering up, would an alcoholic talk of suicide, and that's only because of the embarrassment and guilt they feel from their actions and the pity they now seek. Don't worry, because it will never happen, especially to perple who constantly seek approval and love from others (as in Hollywood stars). It's only a temporary thing, until the next drink. He drinks because ... HE WANTS TO!
