Scientists Find Drunkenness Gene in Worms

[NeoStarO1]

I find this quote a somewhat rather amusing.

"Our end goal is to find a way to cure alcoholism and drug abuse," Dr. Steven McIntire said. "We hope to develop effective therapeutics to improve the ability of people to stop drinking."

I don't think any gene or anything is going to stop people from drinking and doing drugs. It needs to stop with the people themselves and to start making the right choices and start thinking of others and not thier own sorry selves. The only theriputic abilty that works is the willingness to change and then follow through with it. Not another "mircle pill" in the development.

Must be that worm that's in bottles of mescal. Nah, that's a larva.
