    I remember reading about an experiment done where a group of people were unknowingly given non-alcholic drinks when they thought they were drinking. Over time they started to "act merry" or a bit hyper as if they had been drinking.....a psychological effect of thinking youre drinking.

    The placebo effect.

    A girl I used to live with got asked by a load of 12/13 year old to go in to the off licence and buy them drink. Took their money, and in she went and came back out with non-alcoholic stuff. She walked past the place where they were about an hour later and they were all falling around the place "plastered". Still though, at that age, all you need is one of them to say he feels bolloxed and the others will all say they're the same.
