Le prestige de l'alcool se nourrit des rituels protecteurs de notre société, ce qui mène un proche à agir de connivence plutôt que d'agir en tant qu'interventionniste, ou détracteur de l'alcool. Le non buveur se met au diapason de crainte de perdre l'affection du buveur. En fait le non buveur peut agir jusqu'à laisser aller l'abus d'alcool en ne posant plus de questions, ou en dissimulant l'abus d'alcool. Le buveur, lui, ne sait plus résister aux sollicitations considérées comme normales par notre société et reste par la suite aux prises avec l'alcool. 1, record 4, French, - agent%20provocateur
