Among the men with alcoholic fathers, the rates were 56 percent vs. 14 percent, and among the other men, the rates were 24 percent vs. 9 percent.
NATION/WORLD
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The 20 percent of men who had shown the least reaction to alcohol had a 43 percent rate of alcoholism, vs. 11 percent for the one-fifth of the men showing the greatest reaction.
NEW YORK — Young men who showed little effect from the equivalent of rapidly drinking three or five beers were much more likely to become alcoholics than men who felt very drunk, a study found.
The finding may help prevent alcoholism by persuading children of alcoholics to become abstainers if they can drink others under the table, said study author Mare Schuckit.
The Associated Press
Tolerance levels linked to alcoholism
The effect appeared not only among offspring of alcoholics, who are at increased risk of alcoholism, but also in other men.
Schuckit said men who were relatively resistant to the effects of alcohol might drink more to feel its effects and then progressively more as their bodies built up tolerance.
At the least, he said, it should warn them that if they drink until they feel like stopping, it may be too much. The finding carries the same message for people who are not children of alcoholics, although the relative insensitivity to alcohol appears to be less common in them, he said.
Schuckit said he had excluded women because of concerns that they might have different risk factors for alcoholism. But other smaller studies suggest a similar effect in women, he said.
The testing used two alcohol doses that produced the same blood-alcohol concentrations as drinking about three and five beers within 10 minutes. The larger dose would get somebody legally drunk in most states, Schuckit said.
The work is reported in the February issue of the "American Journal of Psychiatry." Schuckit is a psychiatry professor at the University of California, San Diego, Medical School and the director of the Alcohol Research Center of the San Diego Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
The finding carries the same mes-
A relative insensitivity to alcohol may be one inherited trait that puts children of alcoholics at heightened risk of alcoholism, he said.
By the time of the follow-up, 42 of the 124 men with alcoholic fathers and 13 of the 98 other men had become alcoholics. Men with alcoholic mothers had been excluded from the study.
The men's responses were assessed with some biological markers and two indicators used in the new analysis: body swaying and a questionnaire that asked men how much they felt high, intoxicated, sleepy, floating, nauseous and other sensations.
His study related the alcohol responses of 223 men, who were around 20 when tested, to their risk of alcoholism by the time they were recontacted an average of 9.3 years
later.
WASHINGTON
Conservatives pan Clinton's nominee for civil-rights post
President Clinton selected Deval Patrick, who rose from poverty to partner in a prestigious Boston law firm, to be the nation's chief civil-rights enforcer yesterday.
Patrick won immediate praise from rights activists and from members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Conservatives, however, had opened fire on Patrick as a "stealth Guinier" even before Clinton announced the nomination at the White House.
They tried to link Patrick's views to those of Lani Guinier, Clinton's first nominee to the Justice Department post. Clinton withdrew her nomination in June after conservative criticism of her legal writings.
Patrick is known to believe that creation of election districts in which minorities have a voting majority is an appropriate remedy for voting-rights violations as long as certain conditions, such as long-term racially polarized voting, outlined in Supreme Court rulings are present.
THE NEWS in brief
But he believes that African-American voters can be fully represented by legislators of another race — a view Guinier appeared to challenge in her writings as a University of Pennsylvania law professor.
MOGADISHU, Somalia Clan leader criticizes killings
Mohamed Farrah Aidid's coalition condemned U.S. Marines for a shooting that killed at least eight civilians, but said yesterday its militiamen would not retaliate and violate their truce with U.N. forces.
"We have told our people to remain calm and uphold the 3-month-old cease-fire, but the Americans must stop killing innocent people," said Abdul Karim Ahmed Ali, secretary-general of the Somali National Alliance, a coalition of three factions in Mogadishu that back Aidid.
"The excuse the Americans are giving for killing our people is nonsense and baseless," he said.
In addition to the deaths, at least 24 Somalis were wounded Monday when Marines escorted two American diplomats opened fire on a street jammed with hundreds of civilians waiting for free food. One of those killed was identified as one of Somalia's many tribal leaders, Sabrire Alale Barise.
U. S. officials said the 22 Marines had begun shooting machine guns and grenade launchers after two snipers had fired at the three Humvees and two passenger cars in the convoy. They said other Somali had pulled out guns and had joined the shootout after it began.
But many Somali witnesses said the Marines had opened fire after they saw the crowd outside a food
distribution center and mistook them for demonstrators trying to block the convoy.
In Washington, a representative at the Pentagon said that the incident was being investigated but that early indications were the Marines had shot in self-defense.
WASHINGTON Senate seeks protection for Korea
The Senate prodded the administration yesterday to take a more aggressive stance toward North Korea by seeking international trade sanctions and deploying Patriot missile batteries in South Korea.
In a non-binding voice vote, the Senate also said the United States should go ahead with joint military exercises with South Korea to show its strong commitment to the South's defense.
Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican and author of the bill, said North Korean leaders were intimidating the United States with nuclear weapons designs because of a "failure of nerve" on the part of the administration.
The Senate was closing out more than a week of debate on the bill, which authorizes more than $12 billion in spending for the State Department and related agencies in 1994 and 1995.
The "sense of Congress" statement is an amendment to the State Department authorization bill.
