Abstract

The author discusses the biochemical basis of physical and psychological dependence on ethanol, with particular reference to the role of acetaldehyde, monoamines and amino acids. Preliminary results are presented in which the factors of environment, heredity, sex, age and diet are shown to affect susceptibility of mice to ethanol dependence, and an attempt is made to relate the influence of these factors to the biochemical basis of dependence.
