Answer 3

Types of Alcoholics
The NIAAA researchers defined five subtypes of alcoholics by the following specific characteristics.

They also listed the percentage of each type that composes the total number of U.S. alcoholics:

1) Young Adult Alcoholics
31.5 percent.

Young adult drinkers, with relatively low rates of co-occurring substance abuse and mental disorders.

Low rates of family alcoholism.

Rarely seek any kind of help for their drinking.

2) Young Antisocial Alcoholics
21 percent.

Most are in their mid-20s and had early onset of regular drinking and early onset alcohol problems.

More than half come from families with alcoholism, and about half have a psychiatric diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder.

Many have major depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety problems.

More than 75 percent smoke cigarettes and marijuana, and many also have cocaine and opiate addictions.

More than one-third seek help for their drinking.

3) Functional Alcoholics
19.5 percent.

Typically middle-aged, well-educated, with stable jobs and families.

About one-third have a multigenerational family history of alcoholism.

One-quarter had major depressive illness at some time in their lives.

Nearly 50 percent are smokers.

4) Intermediate Familial Alcoholics
19 percent.

Middle-aged with about half from families with multigenerational alcoholism.

Almost half have had clinical depression, and 20 percent have had bipolar disorder.

Most smoke cigarettes, and nearly one in five report cocaine and marijuana use.

About 25 percent ever seek treatment for their problem drinking.

5) Chronic Severe Alcoholics
9 percent.

Mostly middle-aged individuals who had early onset of drinking and alcohol problems.

High rates of antisocial personality disorder and criminality.

Almost 80 percent come from families with multigenerational alcoholism.

They have the highest rates of other psychiatric disorders including depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders.

This group has high rates of smoking, and marijuana, cocaine, and opiate dependence.

Two-thirds seek help for their drinking problems, making them the most prevalent type of alcoholic in treatment.

Previous studies which tried to identify alcoholism subtypes were conducted with people who were in treatment for their alcoholism. Therefore, a large percentage of alcoholics were left out of those studies, because only about one-fourth of alcoholics ever seek treatment.


To the troll who gave my answer a bad rating. This answer is well researched. I, for one didn't know there are types. But it's true. It took a lot of research time.

To the asker, thanks for the learning opportunity. I also replied to your other similar question. Is this part of a homework? Hope it helped.
