Alcohol in the Wild: What Animals Reveal About Addiction | Part 4 | SLICE EARTH
What can animals reveal about alcohol addiction? From fruit flies that continue seeking ethanol despite painful obstacles to vervet monkeys with sharply different drinking patterns, this documentary excerpt examines how compulsive behavior can emerge across very different species.
The excerpt explores addiction as a biological disorder shaped by the brain, genetics, and environment, not simply a lack of willpower. By studying animals, researchers are uncovering shared neural mechanisms that may help explain human alcoholism and guide future treatments.
