hi tony...could you have been thinking of acamprosate? this drug has been shown in clinical studies to assist in curbing the urge to drink. i believe it is still in trial in the US. as far as i know, it hasn't been FDA approved yet, but should be soon. the only other drug that i've heard of for alcohol addiction is naltrexone, which prevents the alcohol buzz. other than certain anti-convulsants and AD's these are the only other ones that come to mind for me.
