A DRUG WHICH helps reduce the urge for people to drink alcohol will be available from the HSE from January.
The pill is aimed at women who drink the equivalent of three pints of beer or half a bottle of wine a day, and men who drink the equivalent of four and a half pints a day or most of a bottle of wine. It is likely to be prescribed along with counselling support.
The drug is not aimed at anyone who has a severe alcohol problem who needs to stop drinking immediately and who suffers from withdrawal symptoms.
