Being born to an alcoholic parent clearly raises the risk that a man will become an alcoholic, as shown by studies of adopted sons of alcoholic and nonalcoholic biologic parents. Being raised by an alcoholic parent, however, seems not to increase this risk. Alcoholics may possess some sort of biochemical tolerance for alcohol, perhaps based on more efficient detoxification mechanisms than those of moderate drinkers.
正如对有酗酒和无酗酒亲生父母的养子的研究所显示的，出生于酗酒的父母家庭显然会增加男性成为酗酒者的风险。然而，由酗酒的父母抚养长大似乎并不会增加这种风险。酗酒者可能对酒精具有某种生化耐受性，这或许是基于比适度饮酒者更有效的解毒机制。
