          Genetic Link Between Eating Disorders and Alcohol Use Discovered

          A comprehensive study of adolescent twins unveils a genetic nexus between disordered eating and alcohol use disorders (AUDs). This correlation underscores worse outcomes, including fatality, especially when these conditions manifest simultaneously in younger teens.

          Neuronal Plasticity Genes Linked to Alcohol Use Disorders

          A new study discovered a link between alcohol use disorders (AUDs) and alteration of a group of genes known to influence neuronal plasticity and pain perceptions. The team used three distinct animal models to identify the genes responsible for drinking behaviors.

          Alcohol Use Disorder: More Alcohol, More Impairment, Regardless of Drinking Habits

          Researchers reveal the idea of "holding one's liquor" is complex, particularly among heavy drinkers. The study shows that while individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) display less impairment after consuming a standard intoxicating dose, they exhibit significantly more impairment when the consumption aligns with their usual heavier drinking habits.

          Heavy Drinkers Misjudge Impairment Levels: A Risky Perception

          Heavy drinkers' belief that they can 'hold their liquor' better than light drinkers has been challenged by a new study, revealing that this perceived tolerance may lead to risky decisions. The research showed that after consuming equivalent amounts of alcohol, heavy drinkers felt less impaired than their lighter-drinking counterparts.

          Sobering Findings: Anxiety and Mood Disorders Linked to More Severe Alcohol Symptoms, Even at Same Levels of Drinking

          People with anxiety and major depressive disorders experience more alcohol-related symptoms than those without, even at the same levels of drinking. This finding may explain why those with anxiety or mood disorders are at greater risk of developing an alcohol use disorder. The study highlights internalizing disorders as a previously unidentified marker of a specific alcohol-related harm paradox, indicating the need for modifying "safe" drinking recommendations for people with anxiety or mood disorders. The co-occurrence of these conditions may reflect shared neurobiological mechanisms, which raises the risk of developing the other in the future.

          How Heavy Alcohol Consumption Increases Brain Inflammation

          The immune signaling molecule interleukin 1B (IL-1B) is present at higher levels in mouse models of alcohol use disorder. The IL 1B pathway plays a different role in animal models of AUD, causing inflammation in brain areas that play a critical role in decision-making.
