Answer to Question 1

Cultural factors can either decrease or increase the likelihood of alcohol abuse. Muslims

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.
