Antabuse (disulfiram) does not work very well for the treatment of alcoholism; this is primarily because alcoholics don't like to take the medication as it makes them sick when they drink.
Alcohol use depresses the nerves that control involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex (which prevents choking); a fatal dose of alcohol may eventually stop these functions.
What is considered 'heavy drinking'? According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking more than the amounts shown below would be considered heavy drinking: �' For healthy men under age 65, consuming no more than four drinks a day nor more than fourteen drinks a week. �' For healthy women under age 65 or healthy men over age 65, consuming no more than three drinks a day nor more than twelve drinks a week.
