They relish politics more for the pleasure than the power, more...
...Melchoir injected directly into the brains of laboratory rats a compound called tetrahydropapaveroline (THP), which is present in opium poppies and is used by the plant to manufacture morphine. Given a choice of drinking water or ethyl alcohol during the early stages of the experiment, the rats, which normally shun alcohol, always opted for the water. But, Myers and Melchoir write in Science, after only three days of THP treatment the teetotaling rats began switching to the sauce. Indeed, after a while the rodents became so addicted that they exhibited all the symptoms of alcoholism, including a rodent version...
