It is to be noted that in the definition of "enabler", the connotation of "permission" can either be tacit or explicit; In French "agent provocateur" can only render explicit permission, whereas "complice" would render implicit permission.

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.
