More Cutting Edge Research From Scotland.

We recently got research results from Glasgow University telling us that when we go into coffee shops we do so to enjoy the experience.

Now Glasgow Caledonian University have discovered, at some considerable cost, that drinking alcohol leaves us with - wait for it - a hangover.

Academics were given £40,000 of taxpayers money to investigate “whether having an alcohol- induced hangover impairs psychomotor and cognitive performance.”

They drank the money, and proved that a hangover does affect the cognitive performance the morning after a booze-up.

That's what makes our nation great. Cutting edge scientific research which will save the planet and the human race.

Comments:
unbelievable. isn't this the Great British Dream? to be paid to drink beer all day? glad my taxes are being put to good use.
 
If we're honest here, I'm just jealous I wasn't invited to partake in the research - in the pursuit of knowledge, of course.
 
heheh, yeah I quite fancy being *an academic* too ;)
 
The only comparable research study I ever did was for toothpaste. What a gyp.
 
Speaking of important scientific research, a new study suggests that hamsters may suffer from symptoms of anxiety and depression during the dark days of winter, just as some humans do.

Elizabeth is extremely perceptive - she has realised that Colcam is, in fact, a depressed hamster :(
 
Sarkasmo, tell me, what did it cost the tax-payer, and did you get a hangover from toothpast overindulgence?
 
They could have used some of the money for assessing the boredom factor.

ie the sober ones having to put up with the pissed ones.

Nice work if you can get it though! Who are the wazzocks that hand out this money and what planet are they on?
