Holistic approach: Alcoholism has a strong genetic/physiological basis.Alcoholics are often addicted to sugar, caffeine & tobacco & have higher needs for certain vitamins.A healthy diet with high doses of vitamin b3 & vit c may be helpful.He may also need zinc, b6, manganese & essential fatty acids.Social support/counseling is also helpful. http://www.the-alcoholism-guide.org/orthomolecular-alcoholism-treatment.html.
