Answer to Question 1

Disulfiram (Antabuse): this drug deters drinking because it causes violent vomiting if a
person drinks after having it in the system.
Naltrexone: this opiate antagonist helps reduce the craving for alcohol and lowers the
incentive to drink. Medications can also be given to ease the detoxification process,
reducing withdrawal symptoms.
