Binge drinking trajectories across adolescence and early adulthood: Associations with genetic influences for dual-systems impulsive personality traits, alcohol consumption, and alcohol use disorder.

ABSTRACT: Binge drinking is a relatively common pattern of alcohol use among youth with normative trajectories peaking in emerging and early adulthood. Frequent binge drinking is a critical risk factor not only for the development of alcohol use disorders (AUDs) but also for increased odds of alcohol-related injury and death and thus constitutes a significant public health concern. Changes in binge drinking across development are strongly associated with individual differences and changes in impulsive personality traits, which have been hypothesized as intermediate phenotypes associated with genetic risk for heavy alcohol use and AUD. The current study examined the extent to which genetic influences underlying dual-systems impulsive personality traits (i.e., top-down [lack of self-control] and botto
