“…Our review's findings point to the consistent, however substantially limited empirical evidence of the ineffectiveness of industry self-regulatory restrictions of alcohol advertising content. As noted by other research concerning traditional alcohol advertising [45][46][47], despite imposed regulations limiting exposure of youth to alcohol advertising content, evidence exists of the alcohol industry likely targeting those under the minimum legal drinking age. In the case of Brodmerkel and Carah [34], alcohol brands routinely promoted excessive consumption of alcohol, attributed social and sexual prowess to the consumption of alcohol and publish content depicting under-aged individuals, doing so in violation of their own self-regulatory codes of practice for social networking sites.…”

Background The rapid growth of social networking sites and video sharing platforms has created an opportunity for the alcohol industry to employ advanced advertising and marketing approaches to target their audiences, increasingly blurring the lines between commercial marketing and user-generated content, which poses a challenge for effective regulation. Methods We conducted a systematic search through three peer-reviewed journal databases (WoS, PubMed, Scopus). Studies were included if published in English, after 2004, and assessed statutory regulation or voluntary industry codes, enacted by an EU or nation’s governmental agency or private entity, and with the intent to restrict digital alcohol advertising. In addition, we conducted a manual search of gray literature. Results A total of 4690 records were identified. After duplicate removal and full-text assessment, 14 articles were examined. Our findings indicate that children and adolescents may often be exposed to alcohol advertisements on social media and websites due to industry’s self-regulatory age-affirmation systems being largely ineffective at preventing under-aged access. Cases of self-regulatory violations by the alcohol industry, and increasingly innovative ‘gray-area’ advertising approaches have also been noted. Additionally, research illustrates a lack of developed statutory restrictions of digital alcohol advertising and instead continued reliance on voluntary industry self-regulation. Conclusions There is a substantial need for further research to examine the effectiveness of digital alcohol advertising restrictions in social media, websites and image/video sharing platforms. Moreover, there is a necessity for countries to develop comprehensive statutory frameworks, which would effectively restrict and monitor rapidly advancing digital alcohol advertising practices on new digital media.

“…Alcohol and opioids are commonly used together, while alcohol contributes to many opioid overdose deaths. The last recommendations for alcohol use disorder treatment present the use of naltrexone, acamprosate, and DSF as the first-line treatments for patients with alcohol use disorder, while the standard treatment for OUD proposes methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone [21][22][23]. Nevertheless, current clinical trials do not advise using inhibitors of DBH in the comorbidity of alcohol and OUD.…”

Treatment with dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitors prevents morphine use and relapse-like behavior in rats

Background Opioid use disorders are serious contributors to the harms associated with the drug use. Unfortunately, therapeutic interventions for opioid addicts after detoxification have been limited and not sufficiently effective. Recently, several studies have led to promising results with disulfiram (DSF), a dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitor, showing that it is a potent agent against not only alcohol but also addiction to various drugs. Materials and methods This study was designed to examine whether DSF and nepicastat (NEP; another DBH inhibitor) modify morphine intake and reinstatement of seeking-behavior using the rat model of intravenous morphine self-administration. Additionally, we intended to estimate the effects of both inhibitors on the locomotor activity as well as on extracellular dopamine and its metabolite levels in the nucleus accumbens using microdialysis in naive rats. Results We demonstrated that both DBH inhibitors reduced responding to morphine self-administration. Moreover, DSF and NEP administered acutely before reinstatement test sessions consistently attenuated the reinforcing effects of morphine and a morphine-associated conditioned cue. The observed effects for lower doses (6.25–25 mg/kg; ip) of both DBH inhibitors seem to be independent of locomotor activity reduction and dopamine level in the nucleus accumbens. Neither DSF nor NEP administered daily during morphine abstinence with extinction training sessions had any effect on active lever-responding and changed the reinstatement induced by morphine priming doses. Reinstatement of drug-seeking behavior induced by a conditioned cue previously associated with morphine delivery was attenuated following repeated administration of DSF or NEP during the abstinence period. Conclusion These results seem to point to the significance of DBH inhibition as a potential pharmacotherapy against morphine use disorders. Graphic abstract
