BACKGROUND: The association between moderate alcohol intake and elevated bone mineral density observed in several epidemiologic studies might result from common genetic pathway regulating both phenotypes. In this study, we determined whether there is a relationship between alcohol preference and high bone mass or strength and whether bone mass-regulating genes segregate during selective breeding of alcohol...
