TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Alcoholism: lessons from population, family and adoption studies JO - Alcohol and alcoholism supplement A1 - Bohman, M. A1 - Sigvardsson, Sören A1 - Cloninger, R.

Specific combinations of predisposing genetic factors and environmental stressors appear to interact before alcoholism develops. These studies indicate that the increasing use of alcohol markedly influence the observed inheritance of alcohol abuse. It is concluded that the problems of alcoholism is less a medical than a political problem.
