Summary The goals of the NIAAA Intramural Research Program are to understand the mechanisms by which alcohol produces intoxication, addiction, and damage to vital body organs and to develop clinical tools for prevention and treatment of those biochemical and behavioral anomalies. The unique combination of clinical and basic research facilities that is available to the Intramural Program allows these goals to be approached through a co‐ordinated interaction between clinical observations and basic laboratory findings.
