What color are your eyes?

I read somewhere that people with brown eyes are more prone to be addicts. Huh? So with that in mind...what color are your eyes?

Mine are light blue/gray

Dark brown but not as bloodshot the last few days. hee hee

Wife's are bright blue and she's right there with me on the drinking problem.

My 10 year old twins defied genetic odds and are both bright blue. I would be more encouraged about the eyecolor hypothesis for them but the odds of the addict gene are unfortunately pretty high.

ArtFriend - you are my pal in eyes color) Mine are blue-gray, and sometimes, depending on how I feel (brighter when I feel good) or what I wear, can be of a little bit shade of green.

MisterChill - My mom had brown eyes and dark hair, but all 4 of us kids have blue eyes and blond hair. Go figure!

Mine are the same way... change color with mood and what I am wearing.

Blue-green, depending on the light, etc. But usually blue. Alcoholic dad's eyes are green. Pill addict mom's were green.

I would imagine there are more brown-eyed addicts because there are more brown-eyed people. 55% of all people in the world are brown-eyed, if you can believe the internet.

Weird but interesting question, AF. Hope you're surviving the floods ok.

brown is the most common eye color by a long ways.

The study controlled for the percentage of brown eyed people vs non-brown eyed people.

I have blue
My brother green (recovering alcoholic)
Mom- green (alcoholic)
Dad - hazel (alcoholic)
Not trend followers I guess. But brown is the dominant gene, right?

My dad had hazel eyes and while he wasn't nearly as bad as me, he drank 2-3 scotches every single day for his entire life as I knew him. I've often wondered if his cancer was related to drinking but he died with a healthy liver anyways.
