<human>:  Can you tell me details on how Native Americans have a higher rate of alcohol abuse compared to other Americans?
<bot>: Sure, I think it’s probably because of a mix of factors. First off, the environment for Native American people can be stressful, which can make alcohol abuse more of a temptation. Also, there’s some speculation that American Indians might have different genes which affect how alcohol affects them. But I don’t think we have a really firm explanation yet.
