Is moderation better than abstinence?
When is abstinence a better choice? Although moderation may be a good starting point for many drinkers, it is not the best approach for everyone with a drinking problem. People with severe drinking problems generally find moderation difficult to maintain and often do better with abstinence.
Is moderation possible for an alcoholic?
The short answer is that true alcoholics cannot drink in moderation. There are times in an alcoholic's life when he or she can abstain from drinking.
Is it better to drink in moderation or not at all?
Researchers have identified that people who drink a moderate amount – usually between 1-2 standard drinks (16-20g of alcohol) a day – are at a lower risk of things like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity than both people who drink a lot and people who never drink.
Can binge drinkers learn to drink in moderation?
"It's only one study," says NIAAA Director George Koob. Moderation as an alternative to abstinence certainly doesn't work for everyone. And the tricky part of the moderation path is that there's no way to know which heavy drinkers can learn to control their drinking rather than having to give it up completely.
Is abstinence the only solution for alcoholism?
For the most dependent drinkers, abstinence may be the only option. As severity of alcohol dependence increases, the likelihood of being able to continue drinking moderately for an extended period decreases, according to a study that followed outcomes three to eight years after treatment.
