Abstract The drinking pattern occurring amongst people with learning difficulties in Dundee was investigated. The main conclusions are that fewer individuals actually reported drinking alcohol and fewer weekly units were consumed, than is found in the general population. A need for general alcohol education was identified since only one‐third of the sample appreciated the potential dangers associated with alcohol and none knew, specifically, what these dangers might be.
