I have the original JAMA article - I can email to anyone who is interested. It doesn't have a lot of raw data. One comment in the article is that the 25% reduction in median heavy-drinking days is misleading - it is skewed by the very heavy drinkers with a lot of events. The typical individual participating in the study had a 48% reduction in median percentage of days with heavy-drinking compared with placebo. For males the improvement is better - looks like about 2 days per month vs 7 on placebo. You are never going to see great statistics out of an alcoholism study. Too much noise, lack of compliance, placebo effect. Peter
