Source
The relationship between genetic influences on alcohol dependence and on patterns of alcohol consumption.
Embedded
yes

We also collected, in our twin sample, data on current AC. In parallel analyses using current consumption in the same models as reported here, the degree of genetic sharing with AD was reduced. As might be expected, to adequately index risk for AD, questions about AC must be asked about the period of lifetime heaviest drinking. Questions focused on current consumption will not be adequate.
