Is there a link between blue eyes and alcoholism? 

 

A new study out of the University of Vermont suggests that the link not only exists, but it appears to be a genetic one. Researchers found that people with light-colored eyes—such as green or gray in the center—have higher rates of alcohol dependency than people with dark brown eyes; the link is stronger in blue-eyed people.

 

There not sure of the actual link but the genes that determine eye color are connected along the same chromosome as genes that are known to be linked to alcohol dependency.
