Sumario:Women alcoholics seeking psychiatric help have been increasing steadily over the years. The data on this subgroup however, is limited.

Gender differences in the functions and effects of problem drinking were found. Men and women alcoholics differed in marital and occupational status, initiating and maintaining factors for drinking, course of alcoholism and alcohol related damage.
