Alcoholics in treatment were compared to medical outpatients with regard to their stated drinking patterns and the effects and attractions of drinking. Nineteen percent of the medical outpatients were found to have serious drinking problems and were not included. The alcoholics drank considerably more, were more likely to be daily drinkers, and mainly drank combinations of alcoholic beverages. The controls most frequently drank beer. In all areas of family, vocation, health, and legal difficulties, the alcoholics reported a much higher rate of problems. The alcoholics in high frequencies reported the attractions of drink to be relaxation, forgetting, taste, and mind enhancement; while the controls reported little attraction in any area, but taste most frequently. These findings cross-validated on a second sample.
研究将接受治疗的酗酒者与内科门诊患者在饮酒模式、饮酒影响及吸引力方面进行了比较。发现19%的内科门诊患者存在严重饮酒问题，这些患者被排除在外。酗酒者饮酒量显著更多，更有可能每日饮酒，且主要饮用混合酒精饮料。对照组最常饮用啤酒。在家庭、职业、健康和法律问题等所有方面，酗酒者报告的问题发生率要高得多。酗酒者频繁报告饮酒的吸引力在于放松、忘却、口感和提神；而对照组在任何方面报告的吸引力都很小，不过最常提到的是口感。这些发现在第二个样本中得到了交叉验证。
