What are your thoughts on this?

Re: Potentially Controversial (not election related)

Hmmm...interesting.

I don't know. I think the better approach is to get to the root of the problem and offer counseling. I would imagine it would be easier to cut back slowly rather than quit cold turkey...in some ways it may be easier on the body (in other ways I would imagine the damage would be continuing). I just don't imagine it would be as beneficial as it could be, unless they provide counseling too. Otherwise I think relapse and other addictions would be likely.

Interesting....The article is almost 3 years old. I'm curious to see updated stats but too lazy to search.

I'm sorry, I'mn too drunk... I couldn't get past this line w/o laughing;

``I don't drink beer, just the house wine. Next it will be Nestle's Quik.''

Seriously, I guess if this program gets them to cut down on drinking then it's doing some good.

I would say the program is successful if it gets alcoholics to eventually quit for good.
