Table 4 shows that men with AD were less likely than women to have a family history of alcohol use disorders, to have grown up in a vulnerable family environment, and to have a family history of depression. In addition, men with AD were less likely to have ever been married to a spouse with alcohol use disorders and were significantly less likely to use alcohol or drugs to relieve mood or anxiety symptoms when compared to women with AD. Men with AD were more likely to have liver disease or cirrhosis than women, but these associations were not significant after controlling for the total number of drinks consumed. Men with AD were more likely to have hypertension/angina than women with AD; this relationship persisted even after controlling for total number of drinks.
