ABSTRACT:
Alcohol-related disorders are treated by the administration of adenosine antagonists and adenosine agonists to a host. Adenosine antagonists are used to inhibit both acute intoxication and chronic dependence by administering prior to alcohol consumption. The symptoms associated with alcohol withdrawal syndrome may be treated by administering adenosine agonists which reduce the physiological dependence on alcohol during the withdrawal period.
