Not immediately: Wean off the alcohol GRADUALLY by substituting with non-alcoholic, non-sugary drinks. Better yet, work with one's primary care doctor, or a alcohol detoxification (detox) doctor, to forever get off the alcohol... but without the dangerous side effects of a chronic drinker suddenly stopping his alcohol. Nutritional care is also needed, during detox.
