Seems like a valid ethical consideration, no doubt. But remember some people are suffering very serious harms already. A new drug might have side effects, but are they worse than the physical and social harms of being addicted to alcohol?

The ethical considerations are more difficult when it comes to someone who simply wants a little help. Consider the common case of someone mostly happy and successful, but is a little overweight and has been struggling off and on for decades to lose 20 pounds; almost all of us have been there, or will be. Do you give those people the drug? Do you allow them to choose for themselves, or should big organizations decide for us?
