how do you get someone who seems hypomanic and has a bipolar sister to realize he needs help?

I am bipolar and believe that my brother is now hypomanic. He has not been diagnosed with bipolar disease. Of course, he believes he is more than fine and that's he's in better spirits than ever. How do I convince him that his self-destructive hyperactivity, drinking, irritability, etc are symptoms...
