Abstract

Analysis of alcohol consumption among veterans (N = 684) included in a 1977 national household survey of 3,322 adults confirmed previous findings based on 1975 national survey data. As previously found, higher levels of alcohol consumption were significantly related to being a veteran of U.S. military service. However, when demographic differences were adjusted between veterans and nonveterans, this was no longer the case. It was suggested that this confirmation of earlier findings strengthens the validity of these findings.
