Abstract

The relationship between family disruption early in life and subsequent drinking in young adulthood was examined in a large representative British sample. Contrary to popular belief, parental loss was not an antecedent to heavy drinking in young adults. This finding was observed within social class of origin groups and when the nature and timing of the disruption were considered separately.
