Drinking patterns and problems were analyzed in relation to demographic and occupational characteristics, using data from a survey of a random sample of 3000 employed men and women. Results indicated an association between problem drinking and youth, low education, low job seniority, single or divorced or separated marital status, and low income, for males only. Among females, problem use of alcohol was found to be positively associated with the number of children and the number of children at home, and this relationship persisted when age, education, marital status, and income were statistically controlled.
