What about the view expressed by "Elizabeth" in http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20010605/msgs/65815.html:
"Alcohol is a lame and toxic substitute for benzos -- if you have adequate doses of benzos, you don't *need* to drink."
The idea I've suggested here in different threads if that one has the alcoholic by genetic over-excited brain due to GABA mis-regulation, then wouldn't an ongoing benzo prescription be just the thing to offset the activity back to "normal"?
