Dry january gets a boost: study tests On-Demand pill to curb drinking

This pilot study tested whether taking naltrexone only when needed can help people who want to reduce or stop drinking during Dry January. Nineteen adults who did not have severe alcohol problems took a 50mg pill before drinking or daily as a precaution. The study checked if this approach was practical, safe, and acceptable, and measured changes in drinking habits and cravings. Results will guide future larger studies on low-cost ways to support moderate drinking goals.
