Researchers from Swansea University have come to a surprising conclusion.
British scientists have suggested that the length of a person's ring finger can be used to determine whether they are a potential drinker.
The experts shared their observations in a scientific paper for the American Journal of Human Biology .
Scientists have found that if a person's ring fingers are longer than their index fingers, this may indicate an increased craving for alcohol.
Experts came to this conclusion after a study involving 258 people.
They collected information about these people: lifestyle, habits, including eating habits, attitude to alcohol, etc.
Analysis of the data showed that those with longer ring fingers are at greater risk of alcohol addiction and early death from diseases associated with this bad habit.
For reference
The ring finger is the fourth finger of the human hand, located next to the middle finger and little finger.
