Abstract

From general practice records of 9,763 patients, 106 problem drinkers were compared with a control group. The drinkers had a substantially higher number of problems and they consulted their doctor and attended casualty departments frequently. Social and marital problems were especially prevalent in the families of problem drinkers.
