Abstract
There is very little literature in the area of homosexuals and alcohol but since the 1960s some work on the alcohol use of homosexuals has begun to surface. Most studies focus on the male but there are some studies of lesbians. The gay bar seems to be the best starting point for such studies as it is so central to gay society. How sex, drugs, and acquired immune deficiency relate to alcohol use are discussed. Ideas relating to intervention into the alcohol problems of gays are put forward.This publication has 36 references indexed in Scilit:
