Women alcoholics seeking psychiatric help have been increasing steadily over the years. The data on this subgroup however, is limited. Eighteen women alcoholics who presented to us over one year have been compared to twenty-eight men alcoholics who presented to us over one calendar month. Gender differences in the functions and effects of problem drinking were found. Men and women alcoholics differed in marital and occupational status, initiating and maintaining factors for drinking, course of alcoholism and alcohol related damage.
近年来，寻求精神科帮助的女性酗酒者一直在稳步增加。然而，关于这个亚组的数据是有限的。在过去一年中，我们收治了 18 名女性酗酒者，与在一个日历月内收治的 28 名男性酗酒者进行了比较。我们发现了酗酒问题的功能和影响方面的性别差异。男性和女性酗酒者在婚姻和职业状况、饮酒的起始和维持因素、酗酒的病程和与酒精相关的损害方面存在差异。
