Abstract

Depressed, alcoholic men were divided into those with and those without antisocial personality (ASP). The ASP alcoholics had a more severe, crosssectional clinical picture; they had a higher rate of drug use disorder and more alcohol‐related symptomatolgy. The medical complications of alcoholism were related to the duration of heavy drinking whereas the nonmedical complications (the psychosocial and pathologic‐intake problems) were related to ASP, duration of heavy drinking, and their interaction.
