    Hello there, hows it going with your relative. You did the right thing by giving him a drink. If you have the shakes then yes sometimes its best to give some alcohol or shock can occur into their system.

    I am a recoverying alcoholic and work in a rehab centre, we deal with these situations all the time.

    What prehaps would of been a good idea was for him to of stayed in rehab longer and/or for a breifing to his family on what to espect when he comes home, how to handle relapses.

    Maybe phone his rehab centre up and they may help again.

    If you need any advice email me on info@sobervillage.co.uk
