Champix, the successful smoking cessation aid, may also help to quell the desire for alcohol. A range of study participants considered moderate to heavy drinkers were given the drug 3 hours before consuming alcohol and the participants disliked the alcohol and experienced the unpleasant effects associated with it in a much more magnified way than the placebo control group.
