We have done absolutely everything, we have shouted at him, cried with him, talked to him, gone to places with him.............someone please help!!!!!

You (and especially your brother, if he will take responsibility to do it) might also get some help talking to the people on the Cirrhosis of the Liver forum:

Sweetheart, sometimes you just have to accept that you can't run another person's life for him, no matter if he is heading himself straight to his end.  Unless you actually had him legally committed, there would be no way to force him to take care of himself.  You already say you have done 'everything,' now the thing to do is work on finding serenity for yourself.
