Perspectives on the validity of self-reported alcohol use
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to explore the search for an answer to the question "are self-reports of alcohol consumption valid?" and the concurrent denial by most alcohol researchers, that over-reporting of alcohol may be a possibility. Researchers have tended to ask this question with the inherent assumption that there is an absolute answer. The truth, however, is unlikely to be so neat or so simple.
