However, those with a history of the disease in their family relatives adapted quicker to alcohol than others in the study. \nThe study included 58 people with a known family history of alcoholism and 58 people with no known history of the disease in their family.\nFor more information about the study go to the IU School of Medicine's Web site at www.medicine.indiana.edu.
