I thought this had something to do with the Arts & Entertainment Channel?

It seems it doesn’t!

In 2020, KTPH launched the Alcohol-Related Frequent Attenders (Arfa) programme. Over six months, the team met patients in their homes or their favourite haunts to bring counselling and basic medical care to them.

I am highly skeptical of this. Places like New York City and San Francisco have taken this same approach with heroin addicts, indeed, to an absurd extreme - providing them needles, housing and "safe spaces" where they can shoot up.

Its an utter failure that just creates more addiction, more crime, more deaths, more spending - and more bloated, politicized "woke" public employees

I’ve been to Singapore many times. If I had to live there, I’d be drunk all the time too.

I see this day in and day out in the ER I work in. There is no ‘’cure’’ for alcoholism. There is only a daily reprieve. One day at a time. As trite as that sounds it's worked for me for 33 years. On the 25th. of this month.

The only way for an alcoholic to get sober is to be rigorously honest with one's self. Some people are incapable of that. It's not their fault really, some people are just born that way. Most alcoholics do recover once they've come to understand the ability to be honest. AA, the worlds oldest self help group is the only program that works. One alcoholic helping another.

article: "Most of the patients drink about 100 units of alcohol — equivalent to 10 bottles of wine — a week..."

Sounds closer to an average Frenchman than a serious alcoholic...

Who ever wrote this has no idea what in the world they’re talking about.

If you admit to having a drinking problem and think moderating your drinking is going to be less problematic you’re dead wrong.

Either you admit you have a problem or you don’t.

There’s no in between.
