Is there some kinda pill you can give someone that will make them sick when they drink alcoholic beverages?

Question

i wasnt gonna slip it to someone , i may be blond but i'm not retarded lol for all you concerned readers lol

Answer 1

Yes; the trade name for the drug is Antabuse.

However, it can be very dangerous and it is illegal to give someone a drug without their knowledge and/or consent. If someone you know has a drinking problem, I would urge you to find help for them.

Best wishes and God bless.

It is used for hard core alcys....
I should know...I took the stuff.....
Its nothing to mess with....
don't try sneaking it on somebody you could kill the person....seriously.
And you will be up on murder charges.
And if are thinking of doing it as some sort of gag you should rethink......

here is excerpt from linked to site

Disulfiram (Antabuse) plus even small amounts of alcohol produces flushing, throbbing in head and neck, throbbing headache, respiratory difficulty, nausea, copious vomiting, sweating, thirst, chest pain, palpitation, dyspnea, hyperventilation, tachycardia, hypotension, syncope, marked uneasiness, weakness, vertigo, blurred vision, and confusion. In severe reactions, there may be respiratory depression, cardiovascular collapse, arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, acute congestive heart failure, unconsciousness, convulsions, and death. The intensity of the reaction may vary with each individual but is generally proportional to the amount of disulfiram and alcohol ingested. In the sensitive individual, mild reactions may occur when the blood alcohol concentration is increased to as little as 5 to 10 mg/100 mL. At a concentration of 50 mg/100 mL symptoms are usually fully developed, and when the concentration reaches 125 to 150 mg/100 mL unconsciousness may occur.

The duration of the reaction is variable, from 30 to 60 minutes in mild cases, up to several hours in more severe cases or as long as there is alcohol remaining in the blood. In severe reactions, supportive measures to restore blood pressure and treat shock should be instituted. Other measures such as the administration of oxygen or carbogen (95% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide), massive i.v. doses of vitamin C (1 g), ephedrine sulfate, or antihistamines i.v. might be indicated. Potassium levels should be monitored particularly in patients on digitalis since hypokalemia has been reported.

Disulfiram is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is slowly eliminated from the body. Ingestion of alcohol may produce unpleasant symptoms 1 or even 2 weeks after a patient has taken his last dose of disulfiram.

Prolonged administration of disulfiram does not produce tolerance. The longer a patient remains on therapy the more sensitive he becomes to alcohol

note: and If you are looking for a cure for somebody elses alcoholism...find a more rational course of action besides slipping this drug to them..
I HAVE INGESTED ALCOHOL WHILE I WAS TAKING ANTABUSE.
the effects are very unpleasant

Answer 3

Disulfiram (Antabuse) produces a sensitivity to alcohol which results in a highly unpleasant reaction when the patient under treatment ingests even small amounts of alcohol.
