This study indicates that alcohol consumption is associated with plasma concentrations of four miRNAs. We outline a potential mediatory role of two alcohol-associated miRNAs (miR-3937 and miR-122-5p), laying the groundwork for further exploration of miRNAs as potential mediators between lifestyle factors and disease development.
