Abstract
This paper presents data from a general population survey of three areas of Britain which manifest considerable differences in official rates of problem drinking, yet show similar patterns and levels of alcohol consumption. Consideration of various sources of bias (non-response, forgetting, selective under-reporting, and interviewer) suggest that they do not differentially influence self-reported alcohol consumption in the three areas.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
