This is a study of 54 patients referred for treatment of drinking problems. They were from two age groups--20 to 39 years and 40 to 59 years. More of the younger patients were referred by their families and older patients by their doctors or other health professionals. The younger patients had a mean duration of 8.2 years of drinking and were more severely dependent on alcohol (higher mean SADQ score). The older patients' mean duration of drinking was 14.1 years and had a lower mean SADQ score. More younger patients had work and family problems, but did not differ significantly from the older patients in alcohol-related physical or mental disabilities.
这是一项针对54名因饮酒问题前来接受治疗的患者的研究。他们来自两个年龄组——20至39岁以及40至59岁。较年轻的患者更多是由家人转诊而来，而年长的患者则多由医生或其他医疗专业人员转诊。较年轻患者的饮酒平均时长为8.2年，对酒精的依赖程度更高（平均SADQ评分更高）。年长患者的饮酒平均时长为14.1年，平均SADQ评分较低。更多年轻患者存在工作和家庭问题，但在与酒精相关的身体或精神残疾方面与年长患者并无显著差异。
