Presence of clinically significant alcohol withdrawal symptoms, as defined as CIWA-Ar score ≥ 10 at screening and/or prior to randomization 2. History of hospitalization for alcohol intoxication or alcohol withdrawal 3. History of alcohol-related disorders including seizures related to alcohol, MalloryWeiss Syndrome, and alcoholic ketoacidosis 4. History and/or current DSM-5 diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorder or other severe psychiatric disorders, unless documented as well-controlled by the Investigator and cleared by the Medical Monitor 5.
