Abstract
The human search for tranquillity has embraced the use of numerous substances of which alcohol is probably the most widely used. Alcohol acts in part by facilitating neurotransmission at γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synapses and until recently the pharmacological treatment of anxiety was based principally on drugs that produce similar actions on this neurotransmitter and its receptor complex (Cowen & Nutt, 1982) (Box 1).
