Possible Love Molecule?

aychamo writes "Psychiatrists from Pavia University have associated early romantic love with a biochemical known as nerve growth factor (NGF). Apparently, levels of NGF in the bloodstream were significantly higher in subjects who were in the early stages of romance than individuals not in a relationship. Interestingly, "subjects in love who--after 12-24 months--maintained the same relationship but were no longer in the same mental state to which they had referred during the initial evaluation" did not have elevated NGF levels."

I would say more fights break out due to large amounts of tequila than just about anything else. Well, beer being number one followed very closely with tequila.

Worse yet, tequila usually means fights with vomiting involved.

Hardly a "love bomb"....unless you're into that kind of thing.
