Rats and effects of alchohol

Its no secret that drinking and poor decision making go hand in hand. It has been tested that drinking can lead to bad behavior even after it has left the system. It is said that the emotions can transfer over to adulthood. They tested this by using rats and having them consume alcohol. It also turns out that rats seem to enjoy the beverage. For twenty days rats helped themselves to Jell-O shots. They were even able to pace themselves. The group of rodents that had been "dry" for the 20 days preferred the lever that led to the smaller and more consistent allotment of treats before they were tested.
