Lots of ink is spilling and hands are wringing over the government approval of “powdered alcohol” drinks – Palcohol - and if you paid attention in chemistry class, you might feel something sounds ...

Alcohols are organic compounds characterized by the presence of one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a carbon atom. They play vital roles as building blocks in various chemical processes, ...

Rodents that had been exposed to stress had a weakened alcohol-induced dopamine response and voluntarily drank more alcohol compared to controls, a new study has found. The blunted dopamine signaling ...

The scope of dynamic combinatorial chemistry is somewhat limited by the small number of predictably reversible reactions. Now, secondary alcohols are shown to quickly and reversibly react with iminium ...

Increasing the brain level of receptors for dopamine, a pleasure-related chemical, can reduce use of cocaine by 75 percent in rats trained to self-administer it. Earlier research had similar findings ...

Cold beer has a stronger alcohol flavor than room temperature beer. Temperature affects the way water and ethanol molecules within alcoholic beverages are organized, thereby altering their taste. The ...
