“…Also, intoxication may reduce an individual's ability to use various coping devices in situations seen as arbitrary or threatening ). However, the effects of intoxication on behavior are not uniform and tend to vary by individual personality factors and emotional or affective states (Holcomb and Adams 1985). These emotional states are also subject to interpretations that are filtered through cultural beliefs, circumstances, and personality, factors that are not easily explained at the individual level (Room 1983).…”

Dado que los ítems de la prueba de consumo problemático de alcohol, además de representar disfunción social seria, evocan recuerdos y emociones difíciles de olvidar para un individuo, semejante a lo que ocurre con los eventos traumáticos, una respuesta positiva a cualquiera de sus cinco ítems se consideró consumo problemático diferente a la dependencia (3-5,10-13).…”
