I think it's a totally loopy study. The largest sample group, over 10,000 people were ONLY male and ONLY prison inmates, only in the Georgia state prison system. That is hardly a way to sample the general population. To make the study even more skewed, it only sampled "Caucasian" males. The traditional use of Caucasian as a racial labeling measure is on it's way out in most scientific communities anyway.
I found that the blood type analysis of alcoholism in populations much more sensible. This analysis is based on looking at the difference between cultures with long historical use of alcohol compared to cultures with a relatively new introduction to alcohol. The difference is astounding. The incidence of alcoholism in groups with 500 years or less of contact with alcohol is much higher than in groups with long term usage. If I can find the book, I'll share the title here!
