Because alcoholism has a tendency to run in families, researchers are eager to isolate the genes that may influence a person's vulnerability to this condition; an individual's environment, such as peer pressure, being exposed to alcohol on a regular basis in the home while growing up, and the ease in which they can obtain liquor, also may influence drinking and the development of alcoholism.
