And antabuse prevents alcoholics from drinking. But there still are a number of alcoholics who still drink. A pill will never solve the drug crisis because people want to use drugs. They will take the pill an then stop to use again. They will try to use the pill to control their drug use; not stop it. But it won’t work either way.
