Hasn’t there been research done that proves alcoholics can learn to be social drinkers?
I suggest you go to the site below and read The Controlled Drinking Debates http://www.doctordeluca.com/Library/AbstinenceHR/FourDecadesAcrimony.htm Then make your own decision. I personally am not aware of any alcoholics who have been successful in returning to drinking. However, I have talked to many late stage alcoholics who returned to drinking and drank rather small amounts. They complained their use of alcohol was causing severe depression and a long list of medical problems. Personally I could not ever recommend any alcoholic returning to drinking alcohol or using any other mood altering chemical.
