"CYP2E1"



Experts say they have found a "tipsy" gene that explains why some people feel alcohol's effects quicker than others.



The US researchers believe 10% to 20% of people have this gene - called CYP2E1 - and that it may offer some protection against alcoholism.



That is because people who react strongly to alcohol are less likely to become addicted, studies show.



BBC..



It was to be called KKTC2E1 but the south objected!



Now we know why Cyprus is a drinkers' paradise...
