Could the cure for drinking be just a pill? It's called Naltrexone, and it works by blocking endorphins and limiting euphoria after drinking.
Naltrexone was originally designed for people with severe alcohol dependence, but a new study found success among more casual drinkers who binge every now and then. The study, which was conducted by the American Journal of Psychiatry involved 120 men. Those who took the pill didn't drink as much and didn't have the same cravings as those who took placebos. The results lasted for six months after treatment.
Ironically, a common side effect to Naltrexone is nausea.
