Alcoholics are often found it difficult to break away from addiction. Researchers find gene that makes a person unable to stop drinking alcohol that made her want to drink again and again.

Gene that makes an alcoholic addiction had been identified by researchers from the University of Colorado. New types of genes linked to the brain that will give pleasure in a high level.

The fact that researchers first discovered in mouse brain. Researchers may then perform a test on humans to see whether the gene has the same effect or not on the human brain. And it was the same, the gene that makes the human brain is programmed to continue to drink alcohol to have fun.

Boris Tabakoff, one of the researchers who did the study say that people who mengonsumi alcohol in moderation can even lose control and alcohol addiction when they have the gene. But genes are not known what researchers found in these studies.

This discovery, published in the Journal BMC Biology. As quoted from the Telegraph, Saturday (31/10/2009), the government suggested that there should women not to drink alcohol more than two drinks a day, while men are not more than three glasses a day.

Alcohol is a substance that has two opposite sides. In previous studies, alcohol is known both to protect the brain from damage in the event of an accident, but alcohol also have a bad effect on health.

Predictably, cases of death due to alcohol in the U.S. currently increased to 40 percent. Alcohol also resulted in cases of liver increased by three fold. Pregnant women who consume alcohol tend to have children who like to consume alcohol as well. In fact, a study says that alcohol can shrink the brain.
