    • In-depth interviews using open-ended verbal questions to gather detailed opinions on alcoholism.

    Main Results:

    • Orthodox Jews define alcoholism as a disease, express fear towards alcoholics, and associate drinking with specific occasions.
    • Reform and non-practicing Jews view alcoholism as psychological dependency, exhibit condemnation, and integrate drinking into daily social life.
