title: Generational and other differences between males and females in problem drinking and its treatment.
abstract: The demographic and social characteristics, drinking patterns and dependency, and problem symptoms of a representative sample of 993 adults were surveyed using a stratified household interview schedule. The data suggest important generational differences in drinking problems among the sexes. The next generation is likely to have far more female problem drinkers than the present one given the current age differences and the trend towards more women working.
