LabelHow serious problem Mary's drinking?Q470
Question text I'm now going to ask you to think about people in different situations. The first situation is described on this card. Mary is 40 and lives alone. She has a history of alcohol problems. For the past five years Mary has been drinking heavily on most days and is often unable to remember bits of what she did the night before. Mary lost her job because of this heavy drinking. She worries that her memory isn't as good as it used to be. First, how serious a problem would you consider Mary’s drinking to be, or do you not think it's a problem?
