Research Study seeks Asian Americans who drink alcohol

Where do I sign up? In the name of science, of course.


Do you drink alcohol? Are you Asian American? Are you in the Southern California area? Then I've got the opportunity for you... all in the name of scientific research! Saw this posted on Craigslist...

The Addictions Research Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at UCLA is looking for Asian Americans who drink alcohol to participate in a study investigating a medication for alcohol use. You'll be compensated up to $478 for your participation, which will involve, among other things, providing a DNA sample, completing questionnaires... and consumption of alcohol.

Here are some more details about the study:

But where will they find Asian Americans who drink alcohol? Hahahahahaahahahahahahahaha. Just kidding. If you're between the ages of 21 and 55 years old, and you can get yourself to UCLA, volunteer yourself for the benefit of scientific research. Heck, maybe I'll give them a call. Science.
