title: Alcohol use and depression symptoms among employed men and women.
abstract: A representative sample of 1,367 employed men and women in Detroit responded to questions about drinking practices and symptoms of depression. After controlling for age, education, family income, marital status, medication use, fathers' drinking, and other variables, increased quantity of alcohol consumed per drinking occasion was associated with increased depression symptoms in the sober state among men and women. Depression symptoms may be one of a group of not fully identified drug after-effect disorders involving psychological functioning.
