London South Bank univer- sity’s psychology department has developed a fake bar at a cost of £20,000 to help test reactions to alcohol in an authentic pub environment. Te room is on the fourth

and how people drink, with the room linked up to video cameras, allowing students in other rooms to study drinker’s behaviour. One of the aspects being monitored in the

alcohol with placebos, using a fruit machine to monitor risk-taking behaviour and install- ing a jukebox to investigate the types of music that encourage people to drink quicker. Details: http://lei.sr?a=a5Y8h
