Describe and give an example of the abstinence violation effect?

What will be an ideal response?

Just as when one cheats on a diet there may be a tendency to engage in a binge, the same is often seen when the abstinent alcoholic slips. A single drink, a violation of abstinence, is likely to result in a binge, and a loss of many gains achieved in treatment as the violation of abstinence is viewed as a sign of failure.
