Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic, relapsing disorder [1,2] with a range of neurocognitive anomalies, including memory deficits [3]. Memory impairments, among other cognitive impairments, have been widely reported to result from heavy drinking [4,5], and may interfere with social and occupational performance [6,7]. Since the etiology of AUD and related memory problems involves multiple domains, including the combination of neurocognitive, personality, behavioral, and genomic factors [8,9,10], a better understanding of these potential predictors may assist prevention and treatment strategies.
