Alcohol Use and Antisocial Experiences

Abstract
This study examined patterns of alcohol use and several anti-social experiences from two large national samples. The data used were collected by the National Opinion Research Center in 1980 and 1984. The results indicated that self-admitted excessive usage of alcohol was clearly associated with the probability of arrest, traffic citations and victimization by physical and firearm assault. No clear pattern emerged concerning lifetime episodes of divorce and to only a limited extent about unemployment in the past five years.
