Stress hormone key to alcohol dependence discovered

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/01/100125173452.htm ScienceDaily (2010-01-26) -- Scientists have found that a specific stress hormone, the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), is key to the development and maintenance of alcohol dependence in animal models. Chemically blocking the stress factor also blocked the signs and symptoms of addiction, suggesting a potentially promising area for future drug development.

I saw this research post and thought - why does it always have to be a "drug development" to deal with stress related problems than to recommend yoga, meditation , stress reducing breathing techniques!  This is what is so wrong with our society - dependence on drugs - rather than put the time and effort into caring for their body and mind - with something so brilliant as the Science of Yoga!
