Summary
This small study tested whether taking naltrexone (a medication that reduces alcohol cravings) only when needed could help people who want to cut back or stop drinking during Dry January. Nineteen adults who did not have severe alcohol problems took the pill before drinking or daily as a precaution. The goal was to see if this approach was practical, safe, and acceptable, and to gather information for future larger studies.
