For the group of patients taking LSD, 59% showed reduced levels of alcohol misuse compared with 38% in the other group.
........
This effect was maintained six months after taking the hallucinogen, but it disappeared after a year. Those taking LSD also reported higher levels of abstinence.

The report's authors, Teri Krebs and Pal-Orjan Johansen, said: "A single dose of LSD has a significant beneficial effect on alcohol misuse."

They suggested that more regular doses might lead to a sustained benefit.





I'm not particularly surprised.8)

Interesting. Bill Wilson, the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, did some experimentation with LSD as a treatment for alcoholism back in the Sixties and was convinced it could be useful. Unfortunately, the hysterical anti-drug jerk-offs forced the FDA to ban its use even as a therapeutic agent and Wilson had to abandon his research.
