I recently read a report in the August 16, 2004 edition of Medical News
Today (www.medicalnewstoday.com) about a drug called Topiramate that can
reduce drinking, alcohol cravings, and the symptoms of alcohol withdraw.
This finding is corroberated by cooresponding decreases in serum
gamma-glutamyl transferase levels, a biological marker of heavy drinking.
