Does anyone know about the"drunken goldfish"?

Question

For extra credit in my Animal Physiology class, my professor asked us about the "drunken goldfish." Does anyone have any idea what's it about?

Answer 1

Research showed that goldfish will flip upside down in 3.1% alcohol after eight minutes and will not be able to right themselves.

Its often cited to demonstrate that there is a lot of research going on out there, a lot of it is taken too seriously, and some of it is completely useless.

Answer 2

I googled it, and I saw a bunch of scientific books.
