ZAD Alcohol Detoxification Treatment– Sec.27

Authors Note: - Zero Alcohol Drink – Alcohol Detoxification Clinical Therapy (ZAD-ADCT) is the most important Document so far in my ZAD venture. It was first published in 2005. In this blog publication, I divide it into its several small “subtitle” sections and post it one by one so to make it more appropriate to the blog reading.

This is its Twenty Seventh section.


ZAD-ADCT First Week Day One: A Safe Standard Alcohol Drink Demonstration (c)

Moreover, there is a important NIAAA pamphlet in this matter titled “Make a Difference”, which seriously warns; “Beer and wine are not “safer” than hard liquor. A 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine, and 1.5 ounces of hard liquor all contain the same amount of alcohol and have the same effects on the body and mind”! [57]. One can see many such proclamations in the establishments’ promulgations! Interestingly enough the ZAD model despite its claims that the low-alcohol beverages (beer) safer than the high alcohol beverages (distilled spirit) mostly agree with the above NIAAA claim! The 12 ounce can (a standard alcohol drink) of “beer” may contain 8 time less alcohol than the 1.5 ounces of hard liquor (“distilled spirit”) by volume, however its alcohol content remains still dangerously high enough that this beer drink within its 3 counts of the establishments stipulated “safe drinking levels” will not provide its drinkers enough of the drink satiety which they pursue while drinking such beverages! It is precisely for this reason the ZAD model adds the No.4 standard alcohol drink into its list tally and names it as the “SAFE standard low-alcohol beverage (LAB) drink”, which contains around 2.5% alcohol by volume in it. Even though the alcohol content in it only half less than the standard beer (5% to 2.5%) nevertheless around this threshold it could provide quite enough (all-round) drink satisfaction or satiety within the establishments stipulated “safe drinking levels” thus its drinkers would not so easily or inadvertently end up in excessive alcohol while drinking such safe standard low-alcohol beverages!

However our list of standard low-alcohol drink is not complete yet! Because, one can genuinely challenge us back with the same line of argument saying the designated 2.5% LAB also not much safer than the 5% LAB because by opting to drink even the 2.5% LAB the alcohol dependents can still exceed their alcohol consumption far more than the given safe drinking levels! Of course, we give very much credence to the above apprehensions and agree with it to the extent so much so that we further introduce the fifth standard light-alcohol drink (LAD) which contains around 1.2% alcohol in our “ZAD Alcohol Policy”, designating it as “a very safe” standard light-alcoholic drink especially for the alcohol dependent people! However, still one should not take it lightly because even a drink containing as low as 0.5% alcohol (that I mentioned earlier) said to have contains enough of that pharmacological effect on the people who drink it high enough!
