subjective and objective alcohol responses, as reported by Brumback et al67 and Roche and King.74 Given that participants were enrolled regardless of FH, the subgroup of sons of alcoholic fathers was relatively small, potentially reducing statistical power to detect FH effects. However, positive FH did predict increases in binge drinking over time, and similar to prior research findings, alcohol responses were predictive of future drinking regardless of FH classification.8 Further research using a priori stratifications of both drinking pattern and FH may provide a more thorough examination of the relationship and possible interactive effects of these risk factors to alcohol response and future drinking behaviors.
