一项对2000名被领养者及其亲生父母和养父母的研究使用了国家犯罪记录和酗酒者的官方登记。被领养人的登记频率与一般人口的登记频率大致相同，但亲生父母的登记频率要高出两到三倍。几乎没有养父母出现在记录中。可以想象，收养在很大程度上抵消了亲生父母的“社会遗产”。然而，在亲生父母和领养的儿子中，酗酒的记录之间存在显著的相关性。另一方面，犯罪记录显示亲生父母和他们的孩子之间没有这种相关性。这些结果支持这样一种假设，即酒精中毒的发展是有遗传解释的，但犯罪行为的表现没有遗传解释。
The state criminal records and official registers of alcoholics were used in a study of 2,000 adoptees and their biological and adoptive parents. The frequency of registration for the adoptees were approximately the same as for the population in general, but for the biological parents it was two to three times greater. Very few adoptive parents appeared in the records. It is conceivable that to a large extent adoption neutralized the "social heritage" from the biological parents. There was, however, a significant correlation in the records between alcoholism in biological parents and in their adopted-out sons. On the other hand, the criminal records showed no such correlation between biological parents and their children. These results support the hypothesis that there is a genetic explanation for the development of alcoholism, but not for the manifestation of criminality.
