Validity of indices of alcoholism: A comment from Irish experience
The incidence of 'alcoholism' is difficult to determine. This difficulty reflects the absence of a universally accepted definition of the disease. Various attempts have been made to base inter national comparisons upon such indices as alcohol consumption per person, death rates from 'alcohol related' diseases, hospital admission rates for 'alcoholism', and even conviction rates for 'drunk enness'. No problem would arise if all of these yardsticks…
