hi.
yes. he's probably suffering from alcohol intoxication. it is best for you to bring him to a doctor for physical examination and clinical evaluation, as too much alcohol intake may have a multi-organ system effect (liver, brain, etc.). avoidance of alcohol intake and aggressive hydration/fluid resuscitation may be of great help as well.
hope this helps.
good day!!
