What Causes Slurred Speech,staggering & Falling Asleep On Feet?

My brother is having slurred speech and staggering and falling asleep on his feet. I feel that it is a drug effect but my mom denies that he has taken anything or drank anything. I think he has a drug problem and she is in denial, but could this be a medical condition?
