The war on white people takes a dangerous turn.

[x1stcav]

Those damned Caucasians. Maybe it’s time to exterminate them as they’re clearly inferior genetically to the darker races.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

This ONE SKIN color is associated with higher rates of crime and incarceration....

[skeeter]

At least those university researchers won’t have to worry about losing their jobs.

[basil]

It looks like the folks at Vermont University have run out of useful class room material to impart to their students……..

[ClearCase_guy]

Amerindians don’t handle firewater well. what color eyes do they have?

[browniexyz]

This is racist!!

[shotgun]

Per my research when I was younger, red squinty eyes is a link to Marijuana use. Maybe I should apply for a retroactive research grant.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Numbers no doubt badly skewed by the fact that Russians rarely put down the vodka.

[4yearlurker]

Talk about your useless information.

[wintertime]

Hm? ......So?...Why do Native Americans have such high rates of alcoholism?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Sounds like this is intended to apply to Caucasians. Asian, African, and Amerind people were excluded.

Well I am a blue eyes and alcohol is an utter bust to me. I might as well have swallowed a handful of sleeping pills.

[Old Sarge]

Lemme guess... Bloodshot?

[machogirl]

I’d like to see the database they pulled this from.

[uglybiker]

Every alcoholic I ever met had red eyes.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Sometimes a study is so stupid that it discredits itself on premise alone.

And if this color to conduct study is true, what about others?

[yuleeyahoo]

And yet the last paragraph of the article state this:

Geneticists have also known for a while that many people of Asian descent have a hard time holding their liquor (compared to those with European ancestry) because their bodies make an atypical version of the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, which metabolizes alcohol.

[exDemMom]

What this most likely means is that genes involved in alcohol/substance dependency are located on the same chromosome as genes that control eye color. When genes for different traits are located on the same chromosome, they are called “linked genes.” Other than the physical proximity, the genes have nothing to do with each other. Having green eyes does not cause alcoholism/substance abuse.

My blue eyed nephew had to appear before a judge, who then said to him:”If you Lithuanians would just stick to basketball, instead of drinking,you’d be a lot better off”.

[GailA]

They need to reassess the study, my 57 yr old brother is a severe alcoholic, always drunk and drinking Ever Clear, and is brown eyed and fair skinned.

I on the other hand am blue eyed, fair skinned and would get drunk on 2 shots of Scotch. Knowing my inability to ‘hold’ my liquor I stop at 1. My mama only raised 1 weak fool and I’m not it.

There was NO drinking in our house as we were growing up.

[I want the USA back]

Correlation is not causation. Some genes serve several purposes. Some genes, acting in concert with other genes produce more than one effect.
Another “study” that isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
