Background: Genetic factors impact substantially both on alcohol consumption (AC) and on
the risk for alcohol dependence (AD). However, we know little about the degree to which …

Background: Twin studies demonstrate that measures of alcohol consumption (AC) show
evidence of genetic influence, suggesting they may be useful in gene identification efforts …
