What benefit is there to compiling statistics to say that x% of patients have legitimate medical reasons, and y% don't? Trying to exert tight control on this issue has achieved nothing but disaster and failure, at great expense.
There are legitimate medical uses of alcohol, too. A great many people self-medicate, but it does provide them relief.
Investigating the medical science of the drug is important, yes. But perhaps investigation of the socio/psychological reasons is a red herring.
