Needs to get himself some shrooms and a shrink.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small study on the therapeutic effects of using psychedelics to
treat alcohol use disorder found that just two doses of psilocybin
magic mushrooms paired with psychotherapy led to an 83 percent decline
in heavy drinking among the participants. Those given a placebo
reduced their alcohol intake by 51 percent.
