CHEAP DRUNK? WOMEN 'HOLD THEIR LIQUOR' BETTER
Research by scientists in Kentucky indicates that women are better at
"holding their liquor" than men. The study at the University of Kentucky
found men's loss of inhibition was three times greater than women's with the same blood alcohol levels. Writing in the journal Addiction, they said the finding might explain why men are more likely to become aggressive. In the study, men and women "social drinkers" were given a set amount of alcohol. They then tested their ability to hit a button at the right time when a symbol flashed up. Participants had to hit a green button when a green symbol flashed up. If a blue symbol appeared, they were told not to hit anything. People became less able to prevent themselves hitting the green key when a blue symbol appeared the more drunk they became.

MAN GIVES BEER TO TRICK-OR-TREATERS
Three young Canadian trick-or-treaters were startled Halloween night when a man in Saskatoon gave them cans of beer rather than candy. Dave Kozicki said the man, apparently drunk, tossed the unwanted treat into the bags of his nine-year-old son and two friends and told them not to come back. "Firstly you think it is kind of funny, but then I started thinking who knows what other stuff is going on and what else he is doing," Kozicki said. "I figured at the very least police should know about it." Officers charged a 53-year-old man with distributing alcohol to minors - a ticketable offense. His name was not released. The beer - three cans of Kokanee - was confiscated as part of the investigation, Kozicki said.
