Research shows that the risk for developing alcoholism increases if there is alcoholism in the family. Below is an extract from Maggie Hagglunds book Njutningsparadoxen (transl. "The Pleasure Paradox") (2014):
"When the rats in the experiment were offered food, water and alcohol 10 percent chose alcohol. The rats drank frequently until they lost consciousness, many drank themselves to death. If the researchers then they take 10 percent and breed them, the outcome will be rat pups who like alcohol ".
