Alcohol addiction
Summary
The gut, liver, and brain axis is a crucial factor in understanding why some individuals become alcoholics and others don't. While genetic differences in certain cultures may play a role, studies show that those who begin drinking at the legal age are less likely to develop alcohol use disorder, suggesting that neural circuitry changes may also be a contributing factor.
