Stem cell treatment drastically reduces drinking in alcoholic rats

After treatment, binge drinking rats became responsible drinkers.
A team of researchers has successfully treated disordered drinking in rats by injecting them with human stem cells. To conduct the study, the team led by Yedy Israel used rats selectively bred to prefer alcohol to water. Left to their own devices, the rats consumed the human equivalent of over one bottle of vodka every day for up to 17 weeks. 48 hours after treatment, they were drinking 90 percent less.

Are you arguing against stem cell research?
Because now I don’t want it.

These lab rats don’t have the stress that I have.

So do humans have to inject rat stem cells to get the same results?

If they are able to run in their treadmills and show up to experiments on time, I don't see what the problem is. They might just be "drinking" rats.

You want to help me? Quit wasting your time with this and just genetically engineer me to make me impervious to hangovers, instead.
