This paper is a brief American literature review reporting on (1) the percentage of alcoholics who marry, (2) the percentage who separate or divorce, and (3) the temporal relationship between date of marriage and onset of alcoholism. All studies discussed control for age and compare results to a general population. The authors show that early studies suggested that alcoholics were an unsocialized and homeless group of people who were not likely to marry whereas later research showed that alcoholics are just as likely as persons in the general population to marry but are at least four times more likely to separate or divorce. Multiple variables account for the high rate of marital disruption. The literature is conflicting regarding whether people tend to marry before or after the onset of alcoholism. Future research must delineate relevant psychological and sociocultural variables in addition to the alcoholism itself.
本文是一篇简短的美国文献综述，报告了以下内容：（1）酗酒者结婚的比例；（2）分居或离婚的比例；（3）结婚日期与酗酒发作之间的时间关系。所有讨论的研究都对年龄进行了控制，并将结果与普通人群进行了比较。作者表明，早期研究表明酗酒者是一群未融入社会且无家可归的人，不太可能结婚，而后来的研究表明，酗酒者结婚的可能性与普通人群中的人一样，但分居或离婚的可能性至少高出四倍。多种变量导致了高婚姻破裂率。关于人们倾向于在酗酒发作之前还是之后结婚，文献存在矛盾之处。未来的研究除了酗酒本身之外，还必须确定相关的心理和社会文化变量。
