}In the roles of student and homemaker, youthful and female problem drinkers can easily hide alcoholism. Compared with adult male alcoholics, their intake of alcohol is less but they are more likely to use other drugs concomitantly. An understanding of their unique characteristics will help the physician recognize patients in these groups with alcohol-related problems.
