This text investigates whether or not there is a causal link between personality traits and the development of alcohol abuse. Findings suggest that there is such a link: people who are inclined toward sensation-seeking are likely to consume more alcohol, and those who show high levels of psychotic and/or antisocial behaviour are more inclined to have alcohol problems. The authors develop and validate a measure of the addiction-prone personality.
