Heh, I've spent a lot of money for my own personal research on this. Unfortunately I didn't take notes.
It looks like they just interviewed 500 boys from age 6 to 20 and then concluded that the ones that drank had more impulsive behaviour. I would conclude that the ones prone to impulsive behaviour are more prone to drink rather then the alcohol was causing the behaviour. Scientifically speaking they should have given 250 of 500 girls alcohol (because they're less prone to impulsive behaviour) and then monitored the results. Honestly it was a scientific study. Don't arrest me. |

As I've often thought, it's probably better never to be after heavy drinking - since it seems we are less impulsive during heavy drinking than after it, that's obviously the way to go.

There may be something to that... On a related note, I had a very heavy friend who advised never to eat on an empty stomach

Since the legal drinking age in the US is 21, all the ones that drank are also criminals now! So we can also say kids that drink will grow up to be impulsive criminals!
