LSD Helps Alcoholics Quit Booze

'Beneficial effect' found by researchers analyzing '60s studies

(NEWSER) - LSD's value as a treatment for alcoholism has been overlooked for decades, according to researchers revisiting old studies. A team that analyzed six separate studies from the '60s found that a single dose of the psychedelic drug had a "significant beneficial effect" on alcoholics that lasted for months, the BBC reports. Some 59% of test subjects, all of whom were in alcohol treatment programs, showed reduced levels of alcohol after taking the drug, compared to 38% of those in control groups. Research into how LSD could treat addiction stopped in the late '60s as legal troubles arose. More»

3-Year-Old Treated for Alcoholism

Unnamed child the youngest on record for alcohol abuse

(NEWSER) - A 3-year-old child in England has been treated for alcoholism, after apparently receiving alcohol regularly for six months, reports the Telegraph . "It is a truly horrifying case and raises very serious child protection issues," said a spokesman for an alcohol abuse group. The unnamed child is the youngest person in Britain ever to receive treatment for alcohol addiction, but the youngster was hardly alone—another report by a British research group found four 5-year-olds treated for alcohol and drug problems over the past five years.

New Pill Could Help Alcoholics Have Just One Drink

Nalmefene is aimed at easing, not stopping, consumption

(NEWSER) - Common wisdom holds that in order to recover, alcoholics must completely abstain from liquor—but thanks to a new pill, that may soon no longer be the case. Nalmefene, developed by Denmark’s H. Lundbeck A/S, blocks the signals in the brain that make drinking feel good, Bloomberg reports. Its aim is to reduce consumption of alcohol, not block it completely. More»
