You should not 'want to have a drink' you are thinkinig you can ' have a drink' there is no such thing for alcoholics and if you think you are not an alcoholic then you wouldn't be asking the question. Normal drinkers are not put on this medicine and they don't 'want a drink' they have one and it does not ruin their lives. We have consequences that ruin our lives. Good luck - seek more help for this please.

Hello joy11. 36 to 48 hours. However, by drinking you are self defeating the concept of the drug. But thats not what you asked. 36 hours and 48hours to be certain and safe to the possiblity of any reaction. Regards pledge
