“…Although links between depression and drinking behavior have been proposed for men as well as women, depression and depressed mood have long been hypothesized to have a more prominent role in the drinking behavior of women (Schuckit & Morrissey, 1976; Schuckit & Winokur, 1972; Turnbull & Gomberg, 1988; Weissman & Myers, 1980). Women more often than men report that depressive symptoms accompany their drinking problems and that depression preceded the onset of their alcohol problems (Beck et al, 1982; Brennan, Moos, & Kim, 1993; Hatsukami & Pickens, 1982; Schuckit, 1986; Winokur & Clayton, 1968).…”
