15. It might be just one more accident that makes him think...

When the only "accepted" alternative is total abstinence, a lot of people will balk. I have a friend who is a chef, and drinking isn't just social for him. He needs to be able to taste wine to recommend it and cook with it.

In that case, the Sinclair method lets them choose when and why to drink, and how to stop.

It just seems more sensible, and also means drinking too much isn't presented as a moral flaw.

This also supposedly works with carbohydrate craving, which is a more common problem!
