Answer to Question 1

Cultural factors can either decrease or increase the likelihood of alcohol abuse. Muslims
and Mormons prohibit alcohol use and Orthodox Jews limit its use to religious rituals. All
three groups have very low rates of alcoholism. In Europe, where half the alcohol in the
world is consumed, alcohol abuse is a big problem. France has the highest per capita
alcohol consumption and death rate from cirrhosis.
