Alcoholism post SPK transplant

My friend received an SPK transplant a couple years ago.  He was an alcoholic for many years, but did not disclose this information to the doctors.  Following the transplant, he has continued to drink heavily, consuming several drinks most evenings to the point of intoxication and throwing up.  What are the implications for transplant success?
