Abstract
A random sample of 612 elderly Chinese was interviewed on their drinking habits. About 36.5% never drank, 50.3% drank less than once a month, 10% between one and three times a month, and 3.2% four or more times a week. Only two subjects had symptoms of mild alcohol dependence with SADQ scores of 10 and 12, and another two had alcohol‐related gastritis.Keywords
