Fast Company quotes Kenneth Leonard in an article about how the non-alcoholic craze keeps people from breaking their drinking habit. “I think in the clinical world that there’s recognition that people are not going to change in ways they don’t want to change,” said Leonard. “You have somebody come in for treatment for an alcohol use problem, and they say, ‘I want to cut down on my drinking,’ you know, a clinician is not going to say, ‘well, I’m only going to treat you if you’re committed to abstinence.’”
