All comparisons are between the ondansetron and placebo groups and are listed in descending order of magnitude of their DDD reductions; mean differences for DDD are in standard drinks; negative values indicate improvement from baseline.

CI=confidence interval; O=ondansetron; P=placebo; DDD=drinks per drinking day; PHDD=percentage of heavy drinking days; PDA=percentage of days abstinent.
