Traits - Bitter alcoholic beverage consumption tendency
Download PDF creates a visual, rasterized copy. Use Print for selectable text and better assistive-technology support.
This research area looks at how often people consume bitter alcoholic drinks like beer, dry wine, or spirits with bitter notes.
GWAS work has identified variants near taste receptor and alcohol-metabolism genes that influence preference for bitter alcoholic beverages.
This result reflects research-level variation in beverage preference and is not a recommendation about alcohol intake.
Cuisine, social context, age of first exposure, overall taste sensitivity, and other lifestyle factors strongly shape real consumption.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
The following peer-reviewed scientific studies support the genetic associations analyzed in this report.
