The Risks of Drunkenness <i>(or, Ebrietas Resurrecta)</i> A Comparison of Frequent Intoxication Indices and of Population Sub‐Groups as to Problem Risks

Abstract

Summary Data from nine population samples are combined in order to compare different population sub‐groups as to prevalence of drinking problems among high “frequency of intoxication” drinkers. Various indicators of frequent intoxication and of drinking problems are presented and discussed. Suggestions are made as to fewer, simpler questions about drinking and as to better ways of studying problem risks.
