How to Counsel SP about freqency and quantity of alcohol intake?

  #2

Mr XYZ now I need to ask you a few questions regarding your habits and social life, Is that ok with you? bla, bla bla
....Do you drink alcohol?, if yes, so ask,
on average how many days do you drink a week? bla bla bla
on average, how much do you drink a week?
and do not forget to ask CAGE questions if alcoholism is suspected

........sorry, the counseling will be.........
1- explain the risks associated with alcoholism ( car crashed, cirrhosis,etc)
2- Explain him that is his responsability to reduce or stop drinking (first you have to motivate him)
3- Make him to set up a drinking diary (now you are motivating him)
5- Follow up the case
