A double‐blind controlled study of the effects of bromocriptine on drinking behavior and associated symptoms in ambulatory alcoholics showed a marked improvement in both treatment and control groups. However, significant differences in favor of the medication were observed in psychopathological measures, and trends in the same direction in most of the other efficacy parameters.
