Male adoptees raised apart from alcoholic biologic parents were followed up and compared with adoptees of nonalcoholic biologic parents. Significant associations were found between adoptee alcoholism and an alcoholic biologic background and between childhood conduct disorder and the development of alcoholism as an adult. None of the environmental factors--psychiatric or alcohol problems in adoptive family, socioeconomic status of the adoptive family, or exposure to discontinuous mothering as an infant--predicted adoptee alcoholism. These findings suggest the importance of a genetic factor in alcoholism and are in accord with previous work that failed to show an independent effect of an alcoholic environment in development of adoptee alcoholism.
对与酗酒亲生父母分开抚养的男性领养者进行了随访，并与非酗酒亲生父母的领养者进行了比较。发现领养者酗酒与酗酒的生物学背景之间、童年行为障碍与成年后酗酒的发展之间存在显著关联。领养家庭中的环境因素——领养家庭中的精神问题或酗酒问题、领养家庭的社会经济地位，或婴儿期经历的间断性母爱——均无法预测领养者酗酒。这些发现表明了遗传因素在酗酒中的重要性，并且与之前未能显示酗酒环境对领养者酗酒发展有独立影响的研究结果一致。
