Abstract
⺠Organizational and activational effects of sex hormones underlie alcohol addiction. ⺠Early in life sex hormones affect an individual's response to alcohol in adulthood. ⺠Markers for early sex hormone exposure predict the risk of developing alcohol addiction. ⺠Adult sex hormone activity has a direct effect on alcohol drinking behavior. ⺠The relationship between sex hormones and alcohol addiction is bidirectional.
