Answer to Question 1

 Abstention from alcohol
 Adequate calories and protein for recovery.
 Low-fat diet initially until long term pancreatic function is determined and/or tolerance is assessed.
 Pancreatic enzyme replacement30,000 units of lipase activity per meal and 20,000 units with snacks if long-term pancreatitis function is compromised
 Fat-soluble vitamin supplementation
 Water-soluble vitamins (especially thiamin, riboflavin, niacin)

Answer to Question 2

Energy Requirements (30-35 kcal/day for weight gain):
30-35 kcal/kg x 90 kg = 2700-3150 kcal/day

Because there is evidence of some muscle wasting, protein needs will be greater:
1.2-1.5 g protein / kg body weight = 1.2-1.5 x 90 kg = 108-135 g

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
