The more alcoholic relatives a person has, the more they need to drink to feel alcohol's effects
Alcoholism is genetically influenced, and a low level of response (LR) to alcohol is one of several known risk factors.

Gene-on-gene interactions may influence risk for developing alcoholism
Not only do both genes and environment have an impact on the development of alcohol-use disorders, but now researchers have found that certain genes may influence scientists' ability to interpret other genes' effects. One variant of the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) gene - the ADH1B genotype - appears to be able to influence level of response (LR)... view more... (2006-08-28)

Researchers block damage to fetal brain following maternal alcohol consumption
In a study on fetal alcohol syndrome, researchers were able to prevent the damage that alcohol causes to cells in a key area of the fetal brain by blocking acid sensitive potassium channels and preventing the acidic environment that alcohol produces. view more (2008-08-11)
Higher total alcohol consumption, including beer and spirits, associated with better health
Moderate beer and spirit drinkers may be just as "healthy" as wine drinkers, suggests a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. The research shows that alcohol drinkers reported less subjective ill health than non-drinkers. But it was the overall quantity of alcohol consumed, rather than beverage type that had most... view more... (2001-08-14)

Alcoholism and bad neighborhoods: a 2-way street
Living in neighborhoods characterized by unemployment, poverty, poor family integration and high residential mobility is known to contribute to a greater risk for alcohol problems.
