All people are divided into two types. Those who do not tolerate alcohol physically. And those who can enjoy it. Logically, the first virtually no chance of becoming alcoholics, and the second - at risk.

As the scientists explain, then, to which category a particular person meets one of the two "spirits" of genes.

The first controls the enzyme that converts alcohol into acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that causes all known symptoms - headache, nausea, tremors in the hands and knees.

Second - on the contrary, it neutralizes the toxin, respectively, the unpleasant effects of alcohol abuse in carriers of the gene is much less.

Carriers of the first gene can not drink a lot, because the toxins accumulate in their bodies, drawing feast in unbearable torture. In general, carriers of the gene are born in China and Japan. People were not able to drink a lot of nature to protect them from alcoholism. Among the Russian (as well as other European nations), it is clear that gene carriers is much less. The accumulation of the toxin is, but without harsh consequences - so that the delayed effect is triggered.

However, Mother Nature has not left us defenseless. In carriers of the second type of gene enzyme that detoxifies acetaldehyde, performs a stop function - it dulls the pleasure centers so that the use of alcohol becomes not so "funny" that a little, but reduces the risk to leave the booze.

But recently there are mutations that do not allow the blunt pleasant feeling of drinking. Such a people and become incorrigible drunken alcoholics.
