Alcohol Addiction

Long Ring Fingers Can Point To a Love For Alcohol

BIG THUMB FOR TRAVELERS? –

Nov. 26, 2024 – Your hands may hold the key to why you enjoy a drink so much. Researchers found relationships between high alcohol consumption and long 4th digits relative to 2nd digits. This showed that high prenatal testosterone relative to oestrogen is linked to high student alcohol consumption. 

“It is known that alcohol-dependent patients have very long 4th digits relative to their 2nd digits, suggesting high testosterone relative to estrogen exposure before birth. As expected, the associations were stronger for men than women.”

Now the researchers hope their conclusions will bring a better understanding of the factors underlying the pattern of alcohol consumption, from abstinence to occasional use to harmful dependence.
