People with blue eyes are more prone to alcoholism, study finds
Scientists conducted research involving people of European descent and discovered that alcohol dependency is 54% more common among individuals with light eye colors—blue, gray, or light green. This finding points to a genetic link between the risk of alcoholism and eye color.
It was revealed that the genes related to alcoholism risk are located on the same chromosome as those that determine eye color, suggesting shared biological mechanisms linking physical traits to susceptibility to certain dependencies. These results open new avenues for understanding the biological factors behind alcohol addiction.
Further studies will help clarify how these genes influence behavior and contribute to developing more personalized strategies for preventing and treating alcoholism.
