No offense, but I am sick of people searching for a pill to cure all their ills. It is far to common here and it shouldn't be encouraged. Look, if you drink too much then you have three choices. You can just stop and become what is known as a dry drunk. You can continue drinking and try to control it, which you won't be able to if you truly do have a problem. YOu can go to AA and become sober. It takes work, but you can do it. You and others may get offended by this, but I truly believe this and I am only saying it because I care. A pill will not cure alcohol cravings. If you are an alcoholic, then go to AA.
