Nagoya University researchers in Japan set out to find whether alcohol tolerance and carbohydrate metabolism change with the seasons.

To test for changes in alcohol tolerance, the team reared mice under winter and summer conditions.

They found that mice reared under winter conditions recovered from alcohol intoxication more quickly.

This may explain why the number of patients hospitalized for acute alcohol intoxication is higher in the summer .
