  3. Reducing Alcohol Consumption. A concern?

Reducing Alcohol Consumption

2020-07-26 04:19:46
My father has been daily consuming alcohol since 30 years. We want him to reduce his consumption and on requesting he tries to but ends up consuming some more without our knowledge. Is there any medication that he can take to control his intake? Also we are not sure if he wants to reduce his intake but when we ask him to he tries, will that be a concern?
