A complex and lucrative commercial infrastructure supplies drinkers with alcoholic beverages. The idea of the alcohol industry is to make drinks readily accessible and to associate sociability and success with drinking.

Drinkers congregate in bars, pubs, backyards, and living rooms to drink together. Drinking, smoking, and other drug use tend to merge.

The successful resolution of alcoholism depends on abstaining from ingesting alcoholic beverages. The recovery of an alcoholic involves an initial stage of denial that is gradually replaced by a more realistic assessment of alcohol addiction and its consequences.

Alcoholics seldom seek help on their own. They depend on enablers who help them conceal, excuse and often supply alcohol and drugs as the path of least resistance.

An alcoholic in denial does not take responsibility for his or her actions. An enabler is any person who fails to confront the alcoholic and insist on immediate, definitive action to stop drinking and to remain sober permanently.

We compare the chronic, heavy drinker with an injured person. The body is damaged and must heal. The toxic effects of alcohol involve the damage done by ethanol, other toxins, and nutrient deficiencies and by other adverse effects, especially allergy to food proteins and additives in alcoholic beverage. Heavy drinkers tend to starve. They eat little or have limited, inferior food choices. They have used up their nutrient stores and are often drawing on their own tissues for fuel.

There are a variety of drinking patterns and the range of injury among alcohol abusers is great. Some are mildly injured and can recover on their own with the right tools and techniques. Others are critically injured and need hospitalization and prolonged rehabilitation with custodial supervision.
