    Translation (I think): My brother is getting over a drinking problem. What are some suggestions for bad-tasting alcohol for him to carry around in an “airplane bottle” so that he will be reminded not to drink when he wants to?

        This is just his way to keep drinking and sell it to himself and others as “doing something against it”.
        Don’t encourage or enable him in this. The only way to stop drinking is to STOP. DRINKING.
        You don’t fix a drinking problem by carrying alcohol with you wherever you go.

          Spot on. I tried to quit smoking once by switching to menthols, and telling myself that they’d be horrible enough to make me quit. It did not work. I just adjusted to the change and kept smoking for another two years.

            That is entirely possible however plenty have found it doesn’t work. I know a girl who drank hand sanitizer because she ‘needed’ her alcohol so much (it was not the kind that had alcohol in it, she just barely realized that and call 911 in time before she passed out, somehow they saved her life)
