The reason they perscribe it is exactly that. Alcohol is by far more dammaging to the liver, brain, body etc. Alcohol, by itself, ia specifically neurotoxic. Also, it's actions can be much cruder than a benzodiazapine.
It's bassically the same thing as saying you'd rather be addicted to nicotine gum, zyban etc. then cigarattes. Essentially the doctors want to reduce the dangers associated with alcoholism.
