How do you help someone who struggles with an addictive personality

Genuine question. A friend of mine keeps screwing up and falling off the wagon and he hates himeself for it every time because of the terrible decisions he makes. Besides offering my concern, I really don't know how else to get through to him, because he gets a one track mind when he drinks that leads him to doing things he regrets, but he knows what he's doing is stupid. At the same time I can't be his babysitter, and I don't want to straight up deck him in the face to get my points across. Anyway. Question stands. Edit: Thanks for your perspectives, dudes.

    Get them addicted on something else beneficial to their health. Or make known the futility of his circumstance: say “I challenge you to drink 7 (whatever he likes drinking). Then, tomorrow, I want you to drink 14. Then, I want you to get fired from your job for slacking. I want you to drink until you’re dead! I want you to die because of poor decisions.” That might work. Tell straight the outcome of his addiction.
