I had to read this article several times to determine the point of it. I still don't see anything new or of real value. A very wordy article not saying much. Research is being done on alcoholism more than in the last 20 years, and the jury is still out on much of it, but this particular article reads as though there has been a new finding. In order for research to be validated, multiple studies must be done over time following the same protocal and determine exactly the same results. That is not the case here. Same with the research done recently regarding a gene that was isolated suggesting alcoholism is predisposed. As one Dr. commented, show me 10 more studies such as this one and maybe I will pay attention.
