    Dear All,

    An inteteresting aspect of the placebo affect was discussed on radio 2 last week.

    A group of people were going to have a party.

    Friends invited etc etc.

    Food prepared but no alcohol.

    So cocktails and punch and Pimms style drinks were prepared.

    They were drunk with much relish and people got extremely drunk.

    Next day many complained of hangovers.

    Yet not one had drunk any alcohol.

    They expected alcohol, they knew what effect alcohol has and as a result they all shared a similar experience.

    Drunk without alcohol.

    The power of suggestion is a very powerful tool.:butcher:

    use it wisely:drinks
