    From observing things around me: it never ends well; I’ve seen such bonds break when one of the two died. In general, my examples are purely negative, so:
    • ban all contact between her husband and him;
    • the husband’s chemical coding.
    Perhaps chemical coding is the only thing I can recommend as a truly effective, non-domestic solution. The main thing is to make sure to repeat this process every few years. I haven’t seen any other effective methods; all the talk, excuses, and promises with alcohol do not work—it’s a drug. It has to be treated accordingly.

    I would not bet on “driving the friend away” as the main plan. The problem, unfortunately, usually isn’t the friend as the final boss, but the fact that the husband agrees to drink and let him into your life. If you remove one “drinking buddy,” another one sometimes quickly takes his place — alcohol is contagious, socially speaking. What I would do:
    • Have a calm but firm talk with the husband: no “you’re a lost cause,” but in the form of “this is destroying me; I am not willing to live with drinking and with a stranger in the family.” Specific boundaries are needed: don’t bring this friend home, don’t drink at home, don’t lend him money, don’t drag the family into his problems.
    • Consequences for violating boundaries must also be real, not decorative. Otherwise, it won’t be a rule, but a stand-up routine.
    • If the husband already has an addiction, then it’s not “the friend’s fault”; help is needed: an addiction specialist, psychotherapy, support groups, an in-person consultation. A sobriety treatment on its own sometimes works like a crutch, but not like a magical exorcism.
    • As for the friend himself — minimal contact: don’t let him in, don’t rescue him, don’t discuss family matters with him, don’t cover for him, and don’t take part in his drama.
    In short: you need to fight not only the friend, but for rules in the family and for the husband’s treatment if the problem is already serious. And yes, if it becomes unsafe, the question is no longer “how to drive him away,” but how to protect yourself.

    I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE

    Because of this, there are constant fights in our family. At first I asked my husband nicely not to go to him, and then it got to the point where I said, if you want to drink with him, take your things and go to him, let him feed you and clothe you. I’m the only one working, and thankfully we don’t have children.

    Well, again, it seems to me that this is all very banal, and the bot wrote correctly
    either your husband stops drinking with his friend, or you set a firm condition — up to and including leaving him; it seems that for now you simply are not setting it and are trying to get off with minimal loss:
    on one side of the scales for him should be alcohol, and on the other, the fact that this does not suit you, and that you may not be around.

    So you asked nicely — take your things. If he is still going out and drinking, then you take your things yourself and go to your relatives or somewhere else — at the same time you’ll get a moral break, or you kick him out if the apartment is yours.

    If words don’t work, move on to actions)

    DEg is right!  If you are the only one in the family who works, and your husband does nothing but drink with his friend, and your warnings have no effect on him, then you either need to throw him out of the house or leave him. There are no other options. Alcoholics do not recover unless they want to themselves. Don’t hope for or wait for a miracle

    So the friend is an alcoholic, and the husband is normal? And this scoundrel is getting him drunk, i.e. forcibly pouring it down his throat? Don’t deceive yourself with illusions: the husband, most likely drinks of his own free will and has already made his choice, not in your favor. To make sure of this, try giving him an ultimatum of the “it’s either me or him” kind, but be prepared for the possibility that his drinking buddy is more important to him.

    There are groups for working with addicts. Now you have to think about yourself and the family, it’s convenient for the husband. He is fine with everything. 
    He, in a drunken frenzy, removes all guilt from himself and doesn’t answer for anything, and since you are the one who is responsible for everything – you are. And you will always be blamed for everything.
