Answer 1

Ans) Alcohol consumption is never encouraged in healthcare, However, there are some exceptional instances such as:

Alcohol abuse- Approaches like contingency management and motivational interviewing are effective means of treating substance abuse in impulsive adolescents by focusing on positive rewards and redirecting them towards healthier goals.

- Educating youth about what is considered heavy drinking along with helping them focus on their own drinking behaviors has been shown to effectively change their perceptions of drinking and could potentially help them to avoid alcohol abuse. Completely stopping the use of alcohol, or "abstinence", is the ideal goal of treatment.

- The motivation required to achieve abstinence is dynamic; family, friends and health practitioners play a role in affecting this motivation.

- However, some people who abuse alcohol may be able to reduce the amount they drink, also called "drinking in moderation". So in this instance, alcohol consumption in moderation can be recommended. As to reach out to the goal of alcohol withdrawal, in order to keep symptoms at lower side, alcohol is recommended.

- If this method does not work, the person may need to try abstinence.
