Another conceivably-surprising headline, in a press release published in Science Daily:

“Alcohol, suppressed anger and violence,” Thor Norström and Hilde Pape [pictured here], Addiction, volume 105, issue 9, pages 1580–1586, September 2010. The authors, at Stockholm University and the Norwegian Institute for Alcohol and Drug Research explain that:
