What Are The Side Effects Of Antabuse?

if you take 250mg of antabuse at noon today (have not been on any therapy previously), so there is nothing in the body previously - could the drug have metabolized by now - allowing for a drink without really bad side effects? I realize you don t know me but I was wondering what one pill taken at noon today would do?

Probably NOT. And asking about that strongly implies alcohol discontrol with cognitive changes to make it seem reasonable to cheat on the antabuse.

one pill at noon would tend to make one able to maintain sobriety.
