Thanks for the bump AG
Interesting how the ratio of teetotallers, occasional drinkers, and "drink to the last drop" drinkers is the same for the monkeys as it is in humans.
I've only had time to read some of the first article, but it fits well with the monkey video and goes a long way to supporting my limbic system/brain stem physiological underpinnings of alcoholism. The difference between monkeys and us is we have wads of brain matter capable of logic and reasoning piled over top of those areas generating the urges to drink excessively.
In the end it doesn't matter if my theory is right or wrong, as long as it keeps me from having that first drink!
