| OT: Alcohol patch trials planned |
| 2004-04-20 |
| EFL Cutting back on drinking could be helped by slapping on an ’alcohol patch’, say US researchers who are planning trials of a drug to combat alcohol cravings. The skin patch was originally developed to help people quit smoking. But one of the drugs it contains, mecamylamine, appears to curb the desire for alcohol as well as that for tobacco. |

| #8 Imagine, no trips to the bathroom. You know Keith Richards would have one on each arm, a drink in his hand and a cigarette perched on his lip. |

| #3 I think a patch that combines nicotene, alcohol, and testosterone would rock! |

| #2 Steve, my thoughts exactly. Think of how much easier drinking would be if you didn't have to lift that beer bottle. We'd be like Dudly Moore all the time, er... when he was alive, that is. |

| #1 Damm, saw the title and was hoping for a patch that would slowly release alcohol into the bloodstream. People keep saying I should cut down on my drinking and a patch would cut out the middleman. |
