title: Alcohol-induced euphoria enhanced by disulfiram and calcium carbimide.
abstract: In a double-blind study, subjects were treated with either disulfiram or calcium carbimide, inhibitors of acetaldehyde elimination, prior to consumption of low doses of alcohol. Self-rating scales, individual interviews, and observations by independent judges revealed that experimental subjects manifested enhanced changes in mood and euphoria compared to placebo control subjects.
