Genetics: Alcoholism is a complex health issue. Therefore, there are likely to be many genes involved in increasing a person's risk for alcoholism. Scientists are searching for these genes, and have found areas on chromosomes where they are probably located. Powerful new techniques may permit researchers to identify and measure the specific contribution of each gene to the complex behaviors associated with heavy drinking. This research will provide the basis for new medications to treat alcohol-related problems.
As a governmental alcohol agency has explained, "Alcohol no more causes alcoholism than sugar causes diabetes;" this same government agency points out that if alcohol caused alcoholism then every person that drinks would become an alcoholic.
Adolescents who consume alcohol are four times more likely to report that they have gotten behind the wheel under the influence of drugs.
Alcoholics who relapse soon after leaving a treatment centers are at risk for alcohol poisoning.
