how to help a adult who is addicted to alcohol also abusive?
(something practical)
Answers
Answer:
For most adults, moderate alcohol use--up to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women and older people--causes few if any problems. (One drink equals one 12-ounce bottle of beer or wine cooler, one 4-ounce glass of wine, or 1.0 ounces of 100-proof distilled spirits.)
Certain people should not drink at all:
Women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
People who plan to drive or engage in other activities that require alertness and skill (such as driving a car).
People taking certain over-the-counter or prescription medications.
People with medical conditions that can be made worse by drinking.
Recovering alcoholics.
People younger than age 21.Alcoholism treatment works for many people. But like other chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and asthma, there are varying levels of success when it comes to treatment. Some people stop drinking and remain sober. Others have long periods of sobriety with bouts of relapse. And still others cannot stop drinking for any length of time. With treatment, one thing is clear, however - the longer a person abstains from alcohol, the more likely he or she will be able to stay sober.
honestly, i had thought of one solution for this....
idk if its possible but here goes...
change all their alcohol bottles from alcoholic beer to non-alcoholic drinks that tastes just like the alcoholic ones. preferably do it while going unnoticed...
i think because adults are mainly abusive when they are very very drunk so if their minds are even a little relieved from the amount of alcohol they drink, they might be able to think rationally, then you can maybe have a little talk with them concerning what all they have done. basically try to convince them to join rehab or something.
now i am not an expert on these types of things so idk if it will work, but you can definitely try.
