This study was designed to identify clinically meaningful differences between continuous and episodic drinkers who were entering inpatient treatment (N = 125) on the basis of information from intake administrations of the revised Alcohol Evaluation Instrument, the Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. Separate discriminant analyses based upon (a) the MCMI and ALCEVAL-R and (b) MMPI and ALCEVAL-R yielded correct classification rates of 86% and 85%, respectively. Both analyses suggest that continuous drinkers may be characterized by greater confused and disorganized thinking, agitation, and cynicism and distrust in interpersonal relationships than are episodic drinkers. In contrast, episodic drinkers appear to have somewhat more socially conforming attitudes that may inhibit daily social drinking. Despite this, episodic drinking was associated with a higher divorce rate (71% vs. 32%) and less occupational stability.
本研究旨在根据修订后的酒精评估工具、米隆临床多轴问卷和明尼苏达多相人格问卷的入院管理信息，确定进入住院治疗的持续饮酒者和偶尔饮酒者（N = 125）之间具有临床意义的差异。基于（a）米隆临床多轴问卷和修订版酒精评估量表以及（b）明尼苏达多相人格问卷和修订版酒精评估量表进行的单独判别分析，正确分类率分别为86%和85%。两项分析均表明，与偶尔饮酒者相比，持续饮酒者的特征可能是思维更混乱、更无序，易激动，人际关系中愤世嫉俗且不信任他人。相比之下，偶尔饮酒者似乎有更多符合社会规范的态度，这可能会抑制日常社交饮酒。尽管如此，偶尔饮酒与较高的离婚率（71%对32%）和较低的职业稳定性相关。
