Abstract: Why can some people consume a huge amount of alcohol with little effect, while others are drunk after just one glass? The answer lies in a molecule found in the brain, called neuropeptide Y (NPY), and a new study shows that mice lacking NPY consume twice as much alcohol as their normal counterparts, and are much less susceptible to its effects.
