Table 3 shows that men with AD were significantly younger at the age of first drink, had more episodes of the disorder, had longer episodes of the disorder, met significantly more criteria for the disorder, and were older at remission than women. The interval between the age at first drink and the age at heavy drinking was significantly longer in men. However, the age at onset of heavy drinking, age at onset of AD, time from age at first drink to age at onset of the AD, time from age at heavy drinking to onset of AD did not differ between men and women. Similarly, rates of remission among individuals with AD did not differ between genders.
