Psychiatric News (10/31) reports, “Naltrexone may significantly reduce binge drinking among sexual and gender minority men (men who have sex with men) with mild or moderate alcohol use disorder,” investigators concluded in a 12-week study that “involved 120 sexual and gender minority men (one transgender male and 119 cisgender males) who reported at least one binge-drinking episode (five or more drinks on a single occasion) per week in the past three months, but who did not meet DSM-IV criteria for alcohol dependence.” The findings were published online Oct. 26 in the American Journal of Psychiatry, a publication of the American Psychiatric Association.
