  • An estimated 45 to 70 percent of patients with alcoholic liver disease are glucose intolerant or are diabetic.
  • Most people who binge drink are not alcoholics or alcohol dependent.
  • Genetics: Alcoholism is a complex health issue. Therefore, there are likely to be many genes involved in increasing a person's risk for alcoholism. Scientists are searching for these genes, and have found areas on chromosomes where they are probably located. Powerful new techniques may permit researchers to identify and measure the specific contribution of each gene to the complex behaviors associated with heavy drinking. This research will provide the basis for new medications to treat alcohol-related problems.
