The meta-analysis by Srisurapanont and Jarusuraisin (26) included a total of 2,861 subjects from 24 randomized, controlled trials. In the short term, naltrexone significantly decreased risk of relapse to heavy drinking (relative risk [RR] 0.64, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.82) but did not reduce the likelihood of a return to any drinking (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.02). Treatment with naltrexone significantly increased adverse effects, roughly doubling the likelihood of reports of nausea and dizziness and increasing the risk of fatigue by about one-third compared with placebo. However, naltrexone treatment did not significantly affect the rate of premature discontinuation of treatment (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.70 to 1.01).

Having looked through our previous fragment we’re surprised to find that our meditations of the alcoholism nature again come to the question of the meaning of life. We’ve to start again from this point to another direction. The involvement of the sense of life category is an ordinary thing for a philosopher; any choice is admissible. In the broad field of the philosophy the meaning of life is an undefined quantity. Moreover, it can be described as a set with an infinite number of values. However, if in philosophy one can write treatises of hundreds of thousands of words, in practical life including the applied love of wisdom we face natural limitations. Ancient Greek sophists were probably first coaches in European history.
