    Alcoholics are as likely to marry as the general population but face a fourfold higher risk of divorce. Research is ongoing to understand the complex factors contributing to marital disruption in alcoholism.

    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Psychiatry
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Early research characterized alcoholics as unsocialized and unlikely to marry.
    • More recent studies indicate alcoholics marry at rates comparable to the general population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review American literature on marriage and alcoholism.
    • To examine marital outcomes (marriage, divorce rates) and the timing of alcoholism onset relative to marriage.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of American studies.
    • Studies controlled for age and compared alcoholics to the general population.

    Main Results:

    • Alcoholics are as likely to marry as the general population.
    • Alcoholics are at least four times more likely to separate or divorce.

  • The temporal relationship between marriage and alcoholism onset is conflicting in the literature.

    • Conclusions:

    • Marital disruption is significantly higher among alcoholics due to multiple variables.
    • Further research is needed to identify psychological and sociocultural factors influencing marital outcomes in alcoholism.
