The Alcoholic Just One Drink Away
From Being Drunk; Give Him Help
BY VERNELLE FOX, M. D.
There are a number of mis
conceptions in the minds of most
people that make the alcoholic’s
recovery more difficult. One of
the most widespread of these is
the idea that the alcoholic can
“handle” any alcohol. It is quite
common to hear such things as,
“Oh, come on, one little drink
won’t hurt anyone”; or “Well,
just have a beer, anybody can
drink a few beers without diffi
culty”; or “You’ve been sober a
long time so you can handle it
now.”
This is not true. The sober
alcoholic is one drink away from
being drunk. This is one drink of
any kind of alcohol for the rest
of his life. Part of the difficulty
|is the fact that many patients
1 may “handle” a few drinks for
a while—but this is for a while
only. Sooner or later the craving
that is setup by the first drink
becomes so great that he will
get drunk.
This practice if insisting on
everyone having a drink fre
quently makes the alcoholic so
uncomfortable that he has to
cure said amendment as the laws
in such cases provide and direct.

stay away from social events
he might otherwise enjoy.. When
you stop to think about it, this (
practice is just plain bad man
ners. When the average person
has company, he might say, “Will
you have a piece of cake?” If
the visitor happens to be a diabe
tic and says “No thank you”—
no one makes a federal case out
of it. I have never seen a dia
betic made so uncomfortable
that he has to justify himself or
explain why he can’t have cake.
"Hide the Bottle"
The other extreme of this at
titude is just about as hard on ,
the alcoholic as the insistence. (
This is the “hide the bottle from
him” practice. Just imagine how
a person must feel under these
circumstances. Let’s say he has 1
struggled with himself for many
months to decide that he will
not drink. Under the circum- *
stances, it is a difficult decision
to make. It requires that he as
sume a great deal of responsi
bility for his own behavior. Well,
he has made his decision and (
goes to dinner at the home of a i
good friend who knows his prob- •
lem. ]
He’s already self-conscious
about the situation and what
does he encounter? His friend
normally has one or two drinks
before dinner. Instead of follow
ing his usual pattern, this well
meaning friend sits awkwardly
in the living room, then makes
a feeble excuse to go to the kit
chen and slips a quick drink.
Now, the patient is no fool and
he’s no amateur with this drink
ing bit, he knows exactly what’s
going on. It makes him feel that
all his effort to assume the re
sponsibility for his sobriety was
wasted. They don’t trust him
anyway. They have to make his
decisions for him—none of us
like that!
He also feels that his presence
is making his host uncomforta
ble and he’s right. How much
better it would have been if
the host could simply have said,
“May I fix you something to
drink?” This leaves the patient
the complete freedom to say
“No thank you”, or Yes, I would
like some coffee”, etc. ... No
thoughtful host or hostess would
have a party without providing
a choice of non-alcoholic bever
ages.
Try to Help Him
The portion of our society who
drink frequently are quite indig
nant that the abstainers try to
impose their opinion on them.
These same people, without be
ing too aware of it, try to impose
their opinion on the non-drinker
by these practices. It is as much
an issue to get a glass of toma
to juice in some homes as it is
to get a martini in others. Peo
ple owe it to each other to leave
the option of whether to drink
or not drink up to the individu
al.
As good friends and neighbors
and as just constructive thought
ful citizens, we should examine
our attitude toward the recover
ing alcoholic and try to make his
task as easy as possible. This is
no more than we do for any
individual who is getting over
an illness. Who ever heard of
insisting that the heart patient
eat salted peanuts! Or hiding
the salt shaker, or just not in
viting him to the party because
he can’t eat salted peanuts?
If we can adopt the same at
titude toward the recovering al
coholic that we have toward
people adjusting to any other
illness, we at least won’t make
his job more difficult.
