Several personality traits have been linked to problematic alcohol involvement. In a review of personality, alcohol use, and AUDs, Sher, Grekin, and Williams (2005) discussed the relationship between alcohol involvement and personality dimensions that broadly correspond to the Big Three models of personality proposed by H. J. Eysenck (1994) and Tellegen (1994): impulsivity/disinhibition, neuroticism/negative emotionality, and extraversion/sociability.
