> Hmmmm that's not a lot when your talking problem drinking as an addiction.
Twenty drinks at a time is not a lot? Don't most people draw the line way before that? In the Netherlands drinking more than three drinks a day is considered problematic drinking (for men); I wager that this won't differ that much around the globe.
People with alcoholism can drink a lot more than that.
A UK unit of alcohol is 10 ml of pure alcohol. You'd consider inpatient residential rehab for someone drinking 30 units per day. There are roughly 40 units in a litre of spirits in the UK.

I find it a strange case for a male person with an addiction problem (which is what we are talking, AA style intervention) thinking 'sometimes as many as' 20 drinks to be a statement of supprise.
Hmmmm that's not a lot when your talking problem drinking as an addiction. That'd be typical in a frat house.
There's a lot wrong with the article and a lot right. Pick carefully.
There's no reason you can't go to AA and do the Sinclair Method. AA is full of Atheists the god bit is misleading.
I'm not sure why they are putting down AA when AA is not against the Sinclair Method. AA has found their way works for some people. It's also cheap councling. Not everyone can afford well paid doctors.
If your drinking is that bad you need a pill to stop it wouldn't hurt to talk to others about the problem as well. And AA is a meme/cult/religion that allows that except they don't go to war and fight others over oil and resources.
