LSD 'helps alcoholics to give up drinking'
Quote:
One dose of the hallucinogenic drug LSD could help alcoholics give up drinking, according to an analysis of studies performed in the 1960s.
A study, presented in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, looked at data from six trials and more than 500 patients.
It said there was a "significant beneficial effect" on alcohol abuse, which lasted several months after the drug was taken.
An expert said this was "as good as anything we've got".

Very few people die from direct use of LSD.
LSD is actually one of the few drugs that does NOT cause physical harm, it is metabolized in your body and is gone before the effects have worn off.
There are a few exceptions though and people have died, but it's not being able to handle the mental state that LSD brings and can cause people to put themselves into physical danger (Examples: Walking in front of a train, car, trying to pet a lion, etc) that causes the deaths. If you're going to do LSD, stay in a nice room with nothing that can potentially scare you, and keep a "sober sitter" with you in case you think you may not be able to handle it. 
FYI I have not done it for over 15 years, and no ill effects.
How it works for alcoholics I dont know or understand

Re: LSD 'helps alcoholics to give up drinking'
Does it make the opposite sex experience any better, or is it best to just leave that till you've come back from the trip?
