Patient Perceptions and Behavior Regarding Risky Drinking
How accurate are they in estimating standard drink sizes for wine, beer,
and liquor?
RESULTS (continued)
What do patients think a “standard drink” is?
MOST report NOT knowing whata “standard drink” is.
Patient understanding of risky drinking –standard drink sizes, along with daily & weekly drink limits –is key. We wondered what patients know about their drinking patterns and how risky they may be, and how providers may enhance patient knowledge, key in efforts toward motivation for lasting change.
