"A drug in development reduces the feelings of pleasure that come from alcohol."
This is like letting the air out of your tires to reduce the ability of your car to get you where you need to go! Bill T.

It's probably for alcoholics.

I thought O'Douls, and Sharps, NA Beer, aka "near beer" , was for that....
Seems like a stupid project. Probably tax payer funded "pork".....

No doubt. A 6 pack of "Near Beer" runs $5. A "prescription" for this crap probably runs $250.00 a month. Paid for by Medicaid no doubt. Bill T.

Kinda like wipin' before you poop, ain't it?

Apparently none of you have tried breaking an addiction.
If they made something like this for cigarettes that actually worked I would probably buy it.

You could try my method Tom by getting run over by a minivan and spend four months in the hospital! Works every time!
;D ;D

I'd reccomend a misdeamnor assault or vandalism charge instead. 90 days in county would be a whole lot cheaper and the food might be better. Plus, if you chose the right target you'd be doing good works. ;)

You won't get any pleasure from sex either while taking this med. :o

Yep, probably for the booze hounds. When I went over the top and went to the doctor, after 96 hours strait drunk, he wanted to put me on 'recovery' drugs. Told him I was too proud for that stuff. If you got a drinking problem, just stop drinking the hard way. Yeah it sucks, but if you can figure that out you can quite anything. Hell it still amazes me I can sit down and have a couple beers or bourbons after how I used to be.

This is just the start. A view of the future courtesy of Obamacare. Soon there will be a medication to remove all of that pesky healing after surgery!!! ;D

I've had a lot of "bad habits" over the years including, but not limited to drinking. When one of them was no longer fun, or showed a potential to interfere with something else I wanted to do I stopped, that simple.
Tobacco isn't like that for me, even with the heavy duty Nicoderm patch I smoked a pack a day.
I would assume that others are the same way about other substances.

Yep, I've thought about quitting smoking. I'll quit when I ready to quit, probably not to far off, and I'll just stop. No patches, gums, or any of that. The hard part's breaking the habit I've formed around smoking, in the truck, at work every couple hours. If I go on vacation or hunting I won't smoke for days, then I get back to work and there's the urge again. Just got to make a plan for that.

Bryan, it sounds like your addiction is more psychological than physical. I don't think either one is particularly easy to break. In my case, I had both kinds. In social situations it seemed necessary to have a cigarette in my hand, even if I wasn't craving one. That's psychological addiction. I used to wake up at 4 AM every day. I thought I was just an early riser, but found out after quitting that my body was going through withdrawals, which woke me up, and I would have a smoke before getting out of bed. That's physical addiction. What really sucked was flying. I used to love flying into southern airports back then, as most of them still had smoking rooms (like fish tanks for smokers). Quitting was much easier after my daughter was born. The patch worked, but I still had cravings 2+ years after quitting. I did, however, gain 50+ pounds after quitting. Quitting carbs is much harder than quitting smoking.
February 13th will mark 10 years since I last had a cigarette. I now return the thread to y'all.
