An alcoholic in full obsession has way too much will power to be stopped by a ball and chain. He will find a way.
There was one method that seemed to work to stop the drinking. I man I knew crashed his car drunk, and broke his neck. He lost the use of his arms and legs and could not drink. It took him three months to die, all of it in total misery because he wanted to drink and couldn't. There was nothing left for him in the sober world, he thought. I was his only visitor.
Unless the internal condition is treated, misery will be the result of enforced abstinence. There are better ways of getting sober.
