A faulty gene might be the cause for some people to become aggressive when they're drunk, according to new research. Alcohol appears to trigger violent behaviour for people with an overactive MAOA gene. That is because this gene produces an enzyme that breaks down brain chemicals involved with mood. High levels of the enzyme mixed with alcohol creates impulsive violent behaviour.
