Abstract
Ethanol is one of the most widely used drugs in the world. The resulting alcohol abuse and alcoholism is a major health and social problem. An understanding of the actions of ethanol are fundamental to a rational approach to treating alcoholism and to reversing the pathology associated with excessive ethanol consumption.
