Their study found that "Alcohol increased the risk of impulsive violence among men born with a highly active version of a gene which produces the substance monoamine oxidase A."

“Women in general have less alcohol dehydrogenase in their stomachs, and thus more alcohol reaches the small intestine and is absorbed into the bloodstream. What I'm trying to point out is that there are situations in which certain individuals metabolize alcohol in an abnormal or different way producing different effects. Although I know of no research to support this, it's possible that in ‘angry’ drunks, alcohol is metabolized in such a way that anger is produced, perhaps by interacting with natural androgen steroids (‘roid rage), serotonin (low levels are associated with impulsive or risky behaviors), or some other neurochemical. The same concept could produce the happy drunk.”
