Only a small percentage of the population that drinks alcohol ever develops an addiction to it. In fact, many studies have shown that drinking in moderation is healthy. While everyone is different, 2 drinks per day for an adult male is considered healthy. This is due in part to its positive mood-altering benefits. There are some people, however, who at times use alcohol as a crutch but are not alcoholics. They might use alcohol as a way to numb feelings of stress or anxiety. Hypnosis to drink in moderation can help people who want to stop using alcohol as a crutch.
