Drugs and alcohol good for students!

Lighting up a while out with your mates drinking could reduce the effect has on the body, according to scientists. However, the test has only been conducted on rats so far.Scientists in Texas tested the blood-alcohol levels of rats after feeding the rats with different amounts of nicotine and alcohol. Lower alcohol levels were then found in the rats who had nicotine within their system - the main component of cigarettes.If this is true in humans also, scientists are quick to point out this means smokers are more susceptible to suffer related problems, rather than cigarette smoking promoting the consumption of alcohol. This would have a deep impact on many university lives.Scientists believe nicotine prevents, if only temporarily, the passage of alcohol through the body and into the intestines. This is the site for most absporption of alcohol. Whilst in the stomach, the alcohol is metabolised, thence leaving less alcohol to move into the intestines from the stomach, and therefore into the blood.
