Abstract
Estimates of the prevalence of various alcohol problems (DSM-III-R alc ohol abuse/dependence, heavier drinking, and consuming 5 or more/9 or more drinks per occasion) were examined for a general population group of 29 155 persons age 18 years and older at self-reported risk for co ntracting AIDS by several definitions. All AIDS risk groups showed ele vated risk for alcohol problems. Results are presented separately for males and females and for various demographic groups (age, marital sta tus, family income, education, and race).
