The relations between the intake of alcohol and that of caffeinated beverages, as well as cigarette smoking, was examined in a group of chronic alcoholics in an Israeli treatment center. When data from the total sample was analyzed, relationships between alcohol and caffeinated beverages intake and between alcohol intake and smoking were observed. Caffeine use and smoking were also related. In addition, a subgroup of subjects with a family history of alcoholism revealed correlations between alcohol and caffeine consumption, between alcohol intake and smoking, as well as caffeine use and smoking. Subjects without a family history of alcoholism also showed relationships between alcohol and caffeine use and smoking. However, coffee intake and tobacco use was not related in this subgroup. The relevance of the findings to previous reports concerning alcohol drinking and smoking as well as the intake of coffee appear to be consistent with a notion of interaction between these respective behaviors occurring at a behavioral level rather than a genetic one.
在以色列一家治疗中心的一组慢性酗酒者中，研究了酒精摄入量与含咖啡因饮料摄入量以及吸烟之间的关系。对整个样本的数据进行分析时，观察到酒精与含咖啡因饮料摄入量之间、酒精摄入量与吸烟之间存在关联。咖啡因使用与吸烟也有关联。此外，有酗酒家族史的受试者亚组显示出酒精与咖啡因消费之间、酒精摄入量与吸烟之间以及咖啡因使用与吸烟之间存在相关性。没有酗酒家族史的受试者也显示出酒精与咖啡因使用及吸烟之间的关系。然而，在这个亚组中，咖啡摄入量与烟草使用并无关联。这些研究结果与先前关于饮酒、吸烟以及咖啡摄入的报告的相关性，似乎与这些各自行为在行为层面而非基因层面发生相互作用的观点一致。
