A new study says the more you need to drink to feel the effects of alcohol, the greater your chance of becoming an alcoholic.
A low level of response to alcohol can lead a person to drink more heavily to get a buzz or other desired effects according to the article on MedicineNet.com.
The condition appears to be genetic and independent of other influences on alcohol usage, such as the age a person started drinking, family, history of alcohol abuse and body mass index according to the researchers.
It is also noted that having a more immediate reaction to alcohol would not guarantee that a person wouldn't develop a drinking problem because alcoholism is linked to many different factors.
