I have three for alcoholism- “alcohol treatment”, “Alcohol addiction help”, “Alcohol Addiction”…wait, that last one says I can save on alcohol addiction…and includes info on the top retailers. I don’t think it takes all that much research to figure out how to make alcoholism a bit cheaper… “What’s the word?”… The other one is for “rapid drug detox in Vegas”. Sadly it doesn’t tell me how to be a junkie for less $$. ---

This reminds me of the thread I did about my crazy cousin’s idea that he could [rehab in Vegas.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=9018281&highlight=%27cousin%27#post9018281) Or maybe kill himself there – his sister spouted the rehab idea, I figured he was going there to drink himself to death. ---

[QUOTE=swampbear] Well, let’s just hope _you_ never need advice on your decor or a new hairdo. :D… [/QUOTE] Ah, well yes, I _had_ sort of meant to make that very joke but decided not to risk it without a lot of smileys. Heh, folks, I’m now getting ads for how to train as some kind of therapist or counsellor. Hmmm, there could be money in this, methinks. 🙂 ---

I’m confused, given that I thought that the OP was (a) homosexual and (b) known to complain about having his ass kicked in online poker by blithering idiots who didn’t understand the first thing about the game. Don’t remember anything much about drinking though. ---

Yeah, I currently have at the bottom of the page: “Pride Institute, Gay specific alcohol and drug treatment”, “Eliminate Alcohol Craving”, “Have a Drinking Problem?”, and “Addicted to Drugs?”. That last one invites me to go to rehab in Taos, New Mexico. ---
