(rg = 0.27; P = 3.14 × 10−5), college attainment (rg = 0.26; P = 8.11 × 10−3) and childhood IQ (rg = 0.42; P = 6.26 × 10−3). Also surprisingly, AUDIT was negatively genetically correlated with BMI (rg = −0.25; P = 1.48 × 10−4) and adulthood obesity (rg = −0.23; P = 2.06 × 10−3). Height, which is not strongly influenced by individual behavior and thus can be viewed as a negative control, was not genetically correlated with AUDIT (rg = 0.02; P = 7.12 × 10−1).
