Japanese researchers have found alcohol makes bad memories linger. The researchers, led by Tokyo University's professor Norio Matsuki, used lab rats to make the finding. Professor Matsuki says the study concluded that ethanol -- an intoxicating agent in alcohol -- does not cause memory to decrease but instead locks it in place.
