The current analyses extend prior work to an older sample of drinking SDPS offspring while directly evaluating both SRE-5 and SRE-T performance and correlates across the generations and across the sexes. The goal is to address four hypotheses. Hypothesis 1 proposes that SRE-5 and SRE-T scores will correlate positively and significantly among first-degree relatives. This will be true both within and across generations. In Hypothesis 2, because SRE-T values potentially relates to both alcohol sensitivity and intersession tolerance, correlations to maximum drinks and alcohol problems will be greater for SRE-T than SRE-5. Hypothesis 3 states that within both the parent and offspring generations higher SRE-5 and SRE-T scores will positively and significantly correlate with higher maximum drinking quantities and the number of alcohol-related problems. Finally, Hypothesis 4 proposes that correlations of SRE scores with maximum drinks and alcohol problems will be similar in parental and offspring generations.
