Do you curse and rebuke your dear one who consumes excessive alcohol? But, do you know certain genes are responsible for this habit or tendency? Yes, researchers have identified new genes that may contribute to excessive alcohol consumption. They are supported by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
