reducing drum brake drag

It just occurred to me that drum brakes tend to have an amount of drag that varies from light to moderate to light etc. over time as they periodically adjust themselves. To jack the car up and turn a wheel by hand really points this out.

Ha anyone here come up with a solution to the problem regarding the automatic brake adjusting mechanism setting the brake shoe adjustment such that the shoes drag on the drum?
