Drunken fruit flies help scientists find potential drug target for alcoholism
A group of drunken fruit flies have helped researchers from North Carolina State and Boston universities identify entire networks of genes-also present in humans-that play a key role in alcohol drinking behavior. view more (2009-11-04)
Discovery may provide new treatments for alcohol dependence
Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg, have discovered a new brain mechanism involved in alcohol addiction involving the stomach hormone ghrelin. view more (2009-07-01)
Alcohol Tolerance Switch Found in Fruit Flies
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found a genetic "switch" in fruit flies that plays an important role in making flies more tolerant to alcohol. view more (2009-10-22)
Moderate alcohol consumption may help seniors keep disabilities at bay
It is well known that moderate drinking can have positive health benefits - for instance, a couple of glasses of red wine a day can be good for the heart. But if you're a senior in good health, light to moderate consumption of alcohol may also help prevent the development of physical disability. view more (2009-01-16)
Drinking in excess associated with increased risk for metabolic syndrome
Those who drink in excess of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines (i.e., men who usually drink more than two drinks per day or women who usually drink more than one drink per day) or those who binge drink are at increased risk for the metabolic syndrome, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical... view more...

Alcohol increases rectal cancer risk, but risk is smaller among regular wine drinkers
Regular drinkers significantly increase their risk of rectal cancer, but that risk is reduced if wine makes up a third or more of weekly consumption, suggests research in Gut. The findings are based on a population study of over 29,000 Danish men and women aged between 23 and 95. Their weekly intake of beer, wine, and spirits was assessed, as were... view more...

Too much coffee during pregnancy risks stillbirth
Pregnant women who drink eight or more cups of coffee a day run more than twice the risk of stillbirth compared with women who do not drink coffee, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-02-19)
Cigarette Smoke And Alcohol Damage Hearts Worse As Combo
Tobacco smoke-filled air is bad for cardiovascular health, and drinking alcohol at the same time only makes it worse, according to researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). view more (2007-11-26)
Heavy drinking can hasten the progression of the simian immunodeficiency virus disease
Alcohol abuse can impair a person's immune system, leading to infections like pneumonia. Alcohol abuse is also more common among individuals already infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) than among the population as a whole. view more (2006-09-25)
Double the death rate from cirrhosis for 'blue collar' men
School of Population Health Professors Jake Najman and Gail Williams and Stockholm University's Professor Robin Room examined death rates among Australian men from liver cirrhosis between 1981 and 2002. view more (2007-05-10)
Analysis highlights areas for research into genetic causes of alcoholism
The findings of a meta-analysis of microarray data of several mouse models that differ in voluntary alcohol consumption highlight new neurobiological targets for further study and provide researchers a novel statistical approach for use in future microarray meta-analyses. view more (2006-04-19)
Study shows gene candidates for predisposition
The meta analysis, which examined more than 4.5 million data points on more than 100 microarrays from mouse models, also identified more than 1,300 functional groups, including signaling and transcription pathways, which may also play an important role in establishing a capacity for a "high level of alcohol consumption." view more (2006-04-19)
Cholesterol could be key to treating fetal alcohol syndrome
Small amounts of alcohol can interfere with the growth of a fetus, but added cholesterol may help prevent a wide array of neurological and physical defects from alcohol exposure, according to a new study in laboratory fish. view more (2007-03-09)
Men with hypertension who drink moderate amounts of alcohol may have a lower risk of heart attack
Hypertension affects some 65 million people in the United States, making it a massive public health burden. It's associated with a twofold increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and total mortality. view more (2007-01-02)
Maternal alcohol drinking during pregnancy associated with risk for childhood conduct problems
Maternal alcohol drinking during pregnancy appears to be associated with conduct problems in children, independently of other risk factors. view more (2007-11-06)
Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three people affected
Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three of those affected, suggests research in Gut. This is particularly likely in those who are older when first infected, and those who already have a degree of inflammation and scar tissue (fibrosis) in their liver at diagnosis. The viral liver infection hepatitis C (HCV) is mainly passed... view more... (2004-02-11)
Published reports inaccurate concerning alcohol consumption during pregnancy
A national alcohol research group is concerned that the media's misinterpretation of a recent British research study could encourage pregnant women to be more at ease with temperate alcohol consumption. view more (2008-12-22)
Scripps Research scientists find seizure drug reverses cellular effects
In the new research, published in the May 28, 2008 edition of The Journal of Neuroscience, the scientists found that gabapentin normalizes the action of certain brain cells altered by chronic alcohol abuse in an area of the brain known as the central amygdala, which plays an important role in fear- and stress-related behaviors, as well as in... view more...
