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.
Chronic male alcoholics have reduced capacity for penile erection, decreased sperm production, and lower sperm counts.
Caffeinated alcoholic beverages are premixed beverages that combine alcohol, caffeine, and other types of stimulants. They may be malt- or distilled spirits-based and usually will have higher alcohol content than a regular beer.
There is no safe level of alcohol use during pregnancy.
