Abstract
A drinking-history questionnaire was completed by 176 male felons and repeated 8 to 9 years later. The more extensive the original drinking problem, the more likely the subject was to be consistent in his answers at follow up, suggesting that inconsistency in 26% was largely a manifestation of mild or borderline alcoholism.
