Sammanfattning
Alcohol causes mortality, morbidity and social problems. Especially the social
factor necessitates limitation of the consumption. Most alcohol related problems
are found in men, e.g. is the mortality rate more than three times higher.
In addition, men cause vastly more problems associated with alcohol, e.g.
drunk driving and violence. Despite these facts, it is women that have been
focused as a group of increased risk when it comes to alcohol consumption.
When prevention programs or treatment programs are launched, is not wise to
primarily focus on one of the genders, but primarily to focus on the consumption
of alcohol as such. The genders are quite similar when it concerns alcohol,
and the differences are small. It is often claimed that it is necessary to focus
on women as that group is undertreated, but there is no substantial proof supporting
that as the group statement. More important is that the resources for
treatment of women, as well as of men, with alcohol problems, are insufficient.
