Abstract

In order to distinguish between different types of people endangered by alcohol, five different indicators were used to classify the degree of alcohol affinity: KFA/Feuerlein, German version of part of the Manson Evaluation, alcohol-in-blood concentration, and frequency and amount of drinking. The degree of alcohol affinity potential is quite different depending on each indicator. All indicators together discriminate between nine independent types (each for men/women) of alcohol-endangered people. Further-more, five independent drinking motivations could be factor analyzed. The diversity in this field was completed by sixteen different therapies used by physicians for alcoholism treatment.
