Getting Crayfish Drunk... For Science!

The video explores two scientific studies. The first examines how alcohol affects crayfish, revealing that social crayfish become intoxicated faster than isolated ones. This suggests social environments alter neural sensitivity to alcohol. The second study challenges the belief that salty foods increase thirst. In a simulated Mars mission, participants on high-sodium diets drank less water, attributed to increased urea production aiding water retention. These findings could inform human alcohol consumption and space travel nutrition strategies.
