Hello all,

A brief report in the American Journal of Psychiatry, April 1999;156(4):650-2
presents some very interesting data.  The authors report that early weaning from
breastfeeding (defined as weaning before the age of 3 WEEKS) may be associated with a
greater risk of alcohol dependence in later life.  Of course there are some
limitations associated with the report and it does need to be replicated, but I
thought y'all might find this of interest in your practice areas.

Julie
