چکیده
The nature of alcohol problems, knowledge about alcohol use and abuse, and public perceptions and responses have all undergone substantial change during the past half-century. This paper traces some interrelationships between changes in alcohol-specific knowledge and behavior and other relevant social forces. The importance of change in the derivation, utilization, and interpretation of this knowledge is emphasized. Special emphasis is also placed on changes that make the integration of research between the biological and behavioral sciences desirable and necessary.
