Summary

The researchers are studying factors that may increase the risk for alcohol and drug use in individuals who do not have any problems with these substances. This study will be looking at health behaviors in young adults compared to their family's health behaviors and lifestyle.

The investigators plan to study genetic differences in people with and without a family history of alcoholism. The researchers hope to learn how a family history of alcoholism, early life adversity and different genotypes shape personal characteristics associated with a risk for alcoholism.
