    What I'm interested in is how the paper reconciles the notion that genetic diversity correlates with economic growth, that genetic diversity correlates with migratory distance from Africa...

    As usual, they simply have the matters backwards.

    It would be most dangerous to a recovering alcoholic.

    Never mind my own experience and medical background which says relapse is in overwhelming majority a gradual process, which is also supported by the earlier attempts at aversion therapies with disulfiram (whose effect can be overcome, with relentlessness). You're correct. Good day.

    I agree, but if you're a recovering alcoholic (i.e. no longer capable of moderation) and want to stay sober, this vaccine is an FSMsend.

    It's also a social lubricant.

    In moderation - yes, but even then it raises the risk of violence. As a sober alcoholic I have been to shindigs with ethanol and unfortunately even the (just) tipsy persons make me uncomfortable. Not because of craving, that's no longer a problem, but with their altered behaviour. I infinitely prefer baked people.

    <grammarnazi>'affects' is a verb (not in this sentence, but in normal use). 'effects' is a noun.</grammarnazi>

    5. Psychiatry. an expressed or observed emotional response: Restricted, flat, or blunted affect may be a symptom of mental illness, especially schizophrenia.

    6. Obsolete , affection; passion; sensation; inclination; inward disposition or feeling.

    You replied to:

    Yes, hate and anger are affects. Most people are just faking it. And market position is all about faking.

    Anonymous Coward you were trying to chool is both correct and correct.

    Homeopathy would be more like adding a few molecules of scotch per glass of water and then somehow claiming this is stronger than the full strength stuff straight from the bottle.

    That wouldn't be homeopathy. That's hormesis. Homeopathic preparations (NOT medicines, because it's witchcraft) contain NO molecules of "active substance".

    A vaccine by definition is something that prevents developing a disease. I think this invention might be useful. Looking back I don't see any benefits of my drinking. Baking - a horse of octarine.
