I am not a biochemist, but I have a strong suspicion that alcohol does have some effects in my body, other than disappearing in the liver. I don't say it reacts with every possible substance inside me, but somehow, somewhere, it does make a difference. That's why people drink alcohol. I do not (necessarily) believe it has anything to do with gender-specific hormones, although some men seem to acquire feminine chracateristics when consuming lots alcohol (talking a lot, getting overly sentimental, loosing the ability to drive a car or to think logically...) -H -- Heikki Levanto heikki at indexdata dot dk "In Murphy We Turst"
