Study Summary

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, outpatient study with a between-groups design. Sixty male and female heavy social drinkers will be randomly assigned to minocycline (200 or 400 mg/day) or placebo for 10 days. In the first 7 days of treatment, subjects will have 3 outpatient visits for medication administration, dispensing of take-home doses and monitoring of any adverse effects from study medications. On days 8 and 10 of treatment, subjects will have 2 laboratory sessions where alcohol or placebo will be administered intravenously using a clamp procedure. Alcohol administration will use a breath alcohol concentration (BrAc) method, targeting 100 mg %. The alcohol clamp procedure will allow collection of multiple outcome measures including subjective, motor, cognitive measurement and plasma cytokine levels.

Primary Outcome

BAES will be used to measure the stimulant and sedative effects of alcohol during the test sessions. This instrument has been found to be a sensitive and reliable measure to study medication influences on alcohol effects

Interventions

  • DRUG Minocycline
  • DRUG Placebo (for Minocycline)
