Evidence for Cohort or Generational Differences in the Drinking Behavior of Older Adults.

Meyers, Allan R.; And Others

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v14 n1 p31-44 1981-82

Surveyed 928 older Bostonians and found a negative correlation between age and alcohol consumption among older adults. Retrospective data suggest that there are cohort or generational patterns of drinking behavior by older adults. Survey provides no insight into the historical factors which account for the differences in alcohol use. (Author/JAC)
