Caring for an alcoholic is not an easy task for the physician. Firstly, he is confronted with a patient, who is not or only marginally aware of his medical, psychological and social problems. This is not surprising, as alcoholism is--in most cases--much more than a bad habit. It is the (failed) attempt of coping with life. Secondly, our attitude towards alcoholism is very ambivalent, and doctors are often ill at ease concerning this problem.
对医生来说，照顾酗酒者并非易事。首先，他面对的是一位对自身的医学、心理和社会问题毫无察觉或仅有微弱意识的患者。这并不奇怪，因为在大多数情况下，酗酒远不止是一种不良习惯。它是应对生活（失败）的尝试。其次，我们对酗酒的态度非常矛盾，医生们在这个问题上常常感到不自在。
