Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the relationship between attitudes toward alcohol use and self-estimated drinking behavior. The results indicated that attitudes can reliably predict variations in self-reported drinking behavior. The implication of these findings for treatment and future research is discussed.Keywords
