Recovery Review 
The UT article "Of Genes and Gin" left me confused as to whether the researchers were trying to identify metabolic markers of chronic alcohol abuse or genetic markers for a predisposition to chronic alcohol abuse/alcoholism. My intuition is that the article was poorly written and the author didn't understand the research, but the other possibility is that the reseachers are blowing smoke. Do you have any idea if the researchers and their institute are legit and reputable?

I had the same reaction. They are talking about both and writer did a poor job transitioning. I'm not familiar with their institute, so I can't speak to it.Thanks for the comment!
