Love of beer starts when we're in the womb, scientists say

The more testosterone we’re exposed to in the womb, the more alcohol we drink as adults—though the reason remains unclear, according to Swansea University researchers.

Study author John Manning emphasizes the significance of understanding alcohol use differences among individuals, suggesting these differences may be anchored in prenatal conditions.

Professor Manning investigates digit ratios, proposing that a longer ring finger indicates higher testosterone exposure in the womb, potentially linking prenatal hormones to adult alcohol consumption.

The findings indicate that both males and females experience varying levels of prenatal testosterone and oestrogen, affecting behaviors such as alcohol consumption later in life.
