One beer is too many, eight beers aren't enough.   

My wife once called me an alcoholic.  I told her that alcoholics go to meetings, therefore I couldn't be an alcoholic.

All been tried before, eehhh it wer grand when I wer a lad, we used to use a drug called Abstem :-

Abstem drug & pharmaceuticals. Abstem available forms, doses, prices

I seem to recall that it was a quite dangerous as it affected the patient blood pressure dramatically if they had alcohol after being given the drug.

Did it stop the alcoholics from drinking (is the Pope catholic).   No it did not, and I seem to recall that there were a couple of deaths <sigh>

In short, I do not feel optimistic
