Marital Status
A significant amount of previous research has focused on the association between alcohol abuse and relationship status, including but not limited to the status of primary intimate relationships such as those seen in marriage and relationships associated with family and others. The significance of this research is that there is at least some evidence that the two factors, close relationship status and the presence or absence of alcohol abuse are somehow related. This work demonstrates an attempt through a careful analysis of secondary data from a primary research article to help illuminate what if any relationship there is between marital status and alcohol abuse. The author hypothesizes that alcohol abuse has a negative relationship in relationship however there
Alcohol Abuse and Relationships
According to Beck (2011), the author of an interesting memoir dealing with alcohol abuse and relationship communication, people can and do turn to alcohol when relationships go bad. In addition, they also turn to alcohol as a way of celebrating when relationships are good, so it would not be possible to say that alcohol is only used as one of the coping techniques by people who are struggling in their relationships or who have relationships that have ended badly. Yet, Beck (2011) does go on to say that there are many factors that would cause a person to use or abuse alcohol, including codependency, anxiety, and depression. The relationships that are seen among different people are generally more complex than one would think when just looking in from the outside, and that is important to consider when looking for correlations between alcohol abuse and relationships.
Kelley, Cash, Grant, Miles, & Santos (2004) address the issue of parental alcoholism and how it affects adult attachment in college-aged men and women. The goal of that study was to examine the relationships - both romantic and general - of men and women in college who had lived with an alcoholic parent prior to the age of 16. That group was then compared with a group who did not have an alcoholic parent in the home. Kelley, et al. (2004) found that the individuals who had at least one alcoholic
Marital Status/Alcohol The Association between Marital Status and Alcohol Use Marital status appears to be associated with alcohol consumption for both men and women. Men in long-term marriages and relationships appear to drink significantly less alcohol than single men, whereas women may demonstrate a different pattern (Chatav & Whisman, 2007). Women and long-term marriages may actually show slightly higher levels of alcohol use than for women who were divorced (Reczek, Liu, &
Substance use is frequently associated with child abuse and domestic violence. It also is a leading contributor to marital dissatisfaction, family breakups and rejection of family members. The importance of the family in understanding alcohol and drug use and abuse is underlined by these highly destructive consequences of alcohol and drug dependency on the abuser and the family. (Lala; Straussner; Fewell, 17) Peer Group plays an important part in resolving
Alcoholism will be defined, according to the DSM as a "maladaptive pattern of substance use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as manifested by one (or more) of the following, occurring within a 12-month period:…a failure to fulfill major role obligations; & #8230;recurrent substance use in situations in which it is physically hazardous; & #8230;recurrent substance-related legal problems;" and "continued substance use despite having persistent or recurrent social
Parenting Style Influence on Excess Alcohol Intake Among Jewish Youth Clinical Psychology The health hazards that are associated with adolescent alcohol use are well documented, and there is growing recognition among policymakers and clinicians alike that more needs to be done to address this public health threat. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different parenting styles on alcohol consumption levels among Jewish college students in the United

Alcohol, Drugs, And Domestic Violence Family violence - or male aggression against women in a relationship setting - also known as domestic violence (DV) is most certainly a devastating social and moral problem in our society; but it is also a serious police problem, and an expensive health problem. In fact, the annual health care cost associated with the manifestations of DV is estimated to run as high as $857 million
