title: [The structure of marriages and human resistance to the disease of alcoholism].
abstract: Genealogies of men suffering from alcoholism (574) and healthy men (368) are investigated. It is revealed that persons from endogamous marriages are more frequently found among people suffering from alcoholism than among healthy persons (36.6% and 25.2%). 55% of men of exogamous origin have relatives suffering from alcoholism, 40% of men from endogamous marriages have such relatives. It is supposed that high heterozygosity decreases the risk of alcoholism.
