Smoking Cessation Meds Shows Promise as Alcoholism Treatment
A medication commonly used to help people stop smoking may have an unanticipated positive side effect for an entirely different vice: drinking alcohol. A new study by University of Chicago researchers finds that varenicline, sold as Chantix, increases the negative effects of alcohol and therefore could hold promise as a treatment for alcoholism.They want to give a drug KNOWN TO CAUSE SUICIDAL IDEATION to chronic alcoholics.
Sadly. So. Predictable.
