OBS

Parent, ami ou pair qui adopte une attitude permissive vis-à-vis l'usage abusif d'alcool ou de drogues par un proche ou en encourageant sa consommation en favorisant des rituels protecteurs qui dissimulent la poursuite de ces pratiques néfastes.

OBS

Vu l'aspect vague d'«enabler» («To enable» = permettre à quelqu'un de faire quelque chose), ce terme ne revêt aucun caractère négatif en anglais. La proposition française «incitateur/incitatrice» s'inspire du verbe «inciter», ce qui signifie tout simplement l'action de conduire quelqu'un à un comportement, par une influence morale. Termes connexes : incitation à la consommation, abus d'intoxicants avec consentement tacite d'un pair, intervenant, habilitateur, facilitateur.
