Abstract
Women and men in management and professional positions in a large midwestern city [USA] were surveyed regarding their alcohol consumption. Compared with other surveys, more of the women in this sample were drinkers, but there was not a proportional difference in heavy drinking rates. Women who were single, divorced or separated reported higher rates of heavy drinking than did married women. Evidence for denial of heavy consumption of alcohol was found among both men and women heavy drinkers.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
