Drink has got many bad side effects so a drinker want to stop drinking by gradually taking its reduced amount but it is found by a study that total abstinence is more successful than those who had chosen to control their drinking by gradually reducing its amount or dose ," said Kristina Berglund, Associate Professor at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Published study suggested that people with alcohol dependence can learn to control their drinking.
For the study, published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, the researchers followed up 201 adult patients for 2.5 years after the onset of treatment . It showed that a shared view between patient and care provider was not decisive for the treatment outcome. Around 90 percent of patients who were in agreement with their care provider on total abstinence were still sober at the follow-up, whereas only 50 percent, who were in agreement with their care provider on controlled consumption treatment, had succeeded in controlling their drinking at follow-up. "Our study shows that regardless of agreement on goals and methods, in the end it is more difficult to stick to controlled drinking than to give it up entirely," Berglund added.
