Reported alcohol use in women with premenstrual syndrome.
Women with prospectively confirmed premenstrual syndrome (N = 21) reported greater alcohol use than comparison subjects (N = 16) in a longitudinal study. The difference in reported alcohol use was not confined to the premenstruum, nor did it correlate with dysphoric symptoms or cravings for food premenstrually.
