With this journal you can found out some new information about connection between alcohol and human behaviour. They are studying about Intimate Patner Violence. Hope you will enjoy the journal. Here's the abstract:

The investigation explored whether subtypes of relapse to violence exist for different levels
of intimate partner violence and drinking behavior among men who relapse to both alcohol
and violence after alcoholism treatment. Male clients entering an alcoholism treatment
program who reported at least one incident of intimate partner violence and their female
partners ( N = 294) were recruited for participation. Data were analyzed using a latent class
analysis of mixture model. Findings revealed that two classes of violence best described
the sample of men that relapsed to violence. Class 1 contained males who had perpetrated
more days of violence, relapsed to violence faster, more frequently relapsed to alcohol,
and had a higher percentage of males identified as meeting diagnostic criteria for antisocial
personality disorder compared to those in class 2.
