Study author Dr Nicole Cameron, explains:
"Our findings show that in the rat, when a mother consumes the equivalent of one glass of wine four times during the pregnancy, her offspring and grand-offspring, up to the third generation, show increased alcohol preference and less sensitivity to alcohol.
'Thus, the offspring are more likely to develop alcoholism."
The study was published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.
