Abstract excerpt

Few studies have employed genetically informative designs to study the causes of alcohol-related problems in nonclinical populations. We report patterns of alcohol abuse in a community-based U.S. volunteer sample of 3,049 female and 1,070 male twins aged 50 to 96. Significant gender and age effects were found for self-report measures of current and lifetime alcohol-related problems, with higher prevalence among...
