摘要
Of 301 participants in a telephone survey, 201 could identify a problem drinker within their social networks. In 67 cases die drinker A-as a partner, in 45 another family member, in 61 a friend, and in 28 a work colleague, Another person's heavy drinking was reported as most disrupting to one's life when that person was a partner or other family member or if one was living in the same residence as die drinker. The exception to this was that reported disruption to respondents' work life was greatest when the drinker was a work colleague, While there appear to be problems for friends and work colleagues, partners and other family members appear to report the most disruption so providing services to family members seems appropriate.
