ABSTRACT
About two billion people worldwide consume alcoholic beverages and one-third (nearly 76.3million) is likely to have one or more diagnosable alcohol use disorders. Alcohol is attributed to early 3.2% of all deaths and results in a loss of 4% of total DALYs (58million). Personality traits reflect basic dimensions on which people differ (Extraversion, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, Openness, and Agreeableness). Neuroticism, agreeableness and conscientiousness personality have alcohol dependence whereas extraversion tended to predict fewer days of heavy drinking and openness will have familial risk for alcoholism.
