Because alcoholism has a tendency to run in families, researchers are eager to isolate the genes that may influence a person's vulnerability to this condition; an individual's environment, such as peer pressure, being exposed to alcohol on a regular basis in the home while growing up, and the ease in which they can obtain liquor, also may influence drinking and the development of alcoholism.
Women are less able to predict the effects of consuming a given amount of alcohol, because greater susceptibility to alcohol occurs prior to menstruation.
Adults, age 26 and older, consume an average of two to three alcoholic drinks per occasion about nine times a month.
