It could be the perfect excuse for those embarrassing moments at the Christmas work party. Around one million Britons carry a faulty gene which makes them a terrible drunk.
The University of Helsinki has identified a genetic mutation which makes some drinkers far more impulsive and reckless after consuming even a small amount of alcohol.
Also known as the “uncle” gene and thus we get the drunken uncle dance at all family gatherings.
Everyone’s known this for generations haven’t they?
So it’s called the uncle gene because it reduces you chance of becoming a father?
Behaving inappropriately after just one pint of beer…I’m usually half-way into my second before the fun starts.
My Dad has that.
Despite being an uncle myself, I have the Ozzy gene. The one that makes you somehow still alive after drinking enough to pickle a cow.
Unfortunately my dancing skills are only at standard uncle level. I don’t have the Lionel gene.

Only one million? Has Dr Tikkanen ever ben to Britain?
Faulty?
“Wealthy American wishes to meet dame with faulty gene.”
Yep. Paternal grandfather had it. Must be recessive though.
If it’s genetic then surely it’s a disability and has to be accommodated, I await the onslaught of SJWs and diversity advisers incorporating this terrible affliction into their portfolio of issues
