A tudy with animal in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Science how that alcohol abue in adolecence lead to a lifetime of poor deciion-making kill. Karen Hopkin report.
We all know that drinking can cloud judgment. That’ why you hould never e-mail an ex after you’ve had a few. But for teenager, doing dumb thing now becaue of alcohol may be jut the tart. Becaue reearch with animal ugget that drinking during adolecence can et you up for a whole lifetime of bad deciion. The tudy i in the Proceeding of the National Academy of Science.
People who abue alcohol when they’re young don’t alway make good choice a adult. But it’ been unclear whether the drink give them the tupid, or whether folk prone to poor choice are predipoed to drink.
One way to tackle the quetion i by tudying alcohol intake in animal, like rat. But rat don’t like to drink. So to make the alcohol more palatable, cientit infued it into a taty “gel matrix”. Ye, the reearcher gave teenage rat Jello hot. And the animal’ deciion-making ability tayed impaired well into adulthood…a meaured by their tendency to chae after reward with aociated high rik rather than taking a ure thing. So, young party animal, remember the word of Faber’ Dean Wormer: “Drunk and tupid i no way to go through life, on.”—Karen Hopkin.[由www.hAozuowEn.com整理]
