LabelHow serious problem Colin's drinkingQ463
Question text I'm now going to ask you to think about people in different situations. The first situation is described on this card. Colin is 40 and lives alone. He has a history of alcohol problems. For the past five years Colin has been drinking heavily on most days and is often unable to remember bits of what he did the night before. Colin lost his job because of this heavy drinking. He worries that his memory isn't as good as it used to be. First, how serious a problem would you consider Colin's drinking to be, or do you not think it's a problem?
