This is a case where a "cure" is not actually beneficial to society.
Case in point: red wine gives me headaches and hives, whiskey burns my tongue, and alcohol just makes me very sleepy. As a result, I've just stopped drinking.
Would I want a cure so I can partake with friends when out? No -- my extended family is full of alcoholics. Why travel down that path?
- B1FF_PSUVM 3y agoSeems they're explaining why things work, such as this: "In fact, drugs such as disulfiram which inhibit aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and cause acetaldehyde accumulation if alcohol is consumed, are used as a treatment for alcoholism by causing discomfort noted above, including headache8 to discourage consumption."
- LZ_Khan 3y agoAdverse reactions to alcohol like asian flush are actually an evolutionary defense mechanism against alcohollism.
- pezezin 3y agoIf that is the case, it doesn't work very well. I live in Japan and I have seen plenty of people with strong flush reactions that don't give a shit, they still drink like sponges.
