Abstract
Do women drink excessively for the same reasons as men? A growing body of opinion suggests not. Beckman's (1975) views are representative— “Alcoholism and heavy drinking in women appear more likely to be linked to psychological stress and a specific precipitating circumstance or situation than is alcoholism or heavy drinking in men”.Keywords
