Alcoholism is a multifactorial condition. In addition to psychological and environmental factors, a hereditary factor is strongly suggested by recent genetic studies in twins, half-brothers and adopted children. The mode of transmission, however, remains largely conjectural. A protective mechanism might by hypersensitivity to alcohol due to different alcohol and acetaldehyde metabolism.
酒精中毒是一种多因素导致的病症。除心理和环境因素外，对双胞胎、同父异母兄弟及领养儿童的近期遗传学研究有力地表明存在遗传因素。然而，其遗传模式在很大程度上仍属推测。一种保护机制可能是由于酒精和乙醛代谢不同而对酒精过敏。
