I don't think you have hit on any taboo.
The damage you are talking about is caused by drinking , yes? So the solution to stopping the damage is to stop drinking, yes?
The only 'issue' worth considering is the issue of putting alcohol into your mouth. The issue most people have is accepting the idea that one can decide to never do that again, ever.
One of the manifestations of this lack of acceptance is to allow the AV to feign concern about 'causes and issues', an obvious mechanism to allow the choice for more booze, until the 'problem' or 'question' can be 'solved'.
A quick study of the ideas I mentioned before , shows one how to identify the 'logic' of addiction and how to beat it
