Alcohol consumption by orientals in North America is predicted largely by a single gene.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 1995

Tu G C, Israel Y

Abstract excerpt

Orientals consume significantly less alcohol, and show a lower prevalence of alcohol abuse and dependence, than Caucasians. Sociological theories propose that this difference is due mainly to cultural factors. Physiological theories have suggested that the flushing reaction experienced by some Orientals serves as a deterrent to ethanol consumption. The flushing reaction is observed mainly in individuals who...
