They'll just end up poorer and even worse nourished, and withdraw. Alcoholics need bringing in under revised mental health laws.

Alcoholism is dealt with by gastro, or UGI surgeons, or the police, or....never by what it is which is psychiatric. Alcohol addiction is psychiatric.

Yes. Look at the demographics for smokers. Very high rates for people with poor mental health and/or stressful lives. Making those lives more stressful doesn't help. Do we know what happened in the early 1990s to make liver deaths shoot up like that?

what you're talking about is association not causation By that logic anything which involves a significant external/environmental factor could be 'psychiatric' heart failure (smoking, diet, etc) stroke (smoking, diet, etc) chronic lung diseases (smoking, occupational exposure)

Of course. They're just too stupid to know what's good for them, right? Interpretation of epidemiological evidence in this area is headbangingly stupid. Foot-stomping authoritarianism does not cut it.

I'm nigh on teetotal as it happens. And a medical statistician. Reaching for insults won't help you think about stuff properly.

Nothing more price inelastic than a drug ones hooked on. Impoverishing to sobriety is barbaric. Like letting a psychotic just tire themselves out.
