You Might See Me at the Bars Soon

As a recovering alcoholic, i was pleased as punch today to see that some lovely people at "a california university" have been working on the problem:

Researchers at a university in California have revealed that a certain brain protein, called GDNF, can quickly cut the urge to drink. But so far it's only worked on animals... Ten minutes after the injection rats lost their appetite for spirits, and the effect lasted for at least three hours. The protein had a similar effect in preventing a relapse in alcoholic rats that were deprived of drinking for some time.

Great! So in the near future, i can at least cut back the URGE to drink if i go on a bender. Now if science can just figure out a way to change my native american blood and prevent blackouts, id go get some roses' lime juice, some bombay saphire and get this party started right..
