N2  - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the domestic violence in the families of alcoholics. We examined the actual state of domestic violence in alcoholics' families and compared this whith a national representative sample. The results are as follows: (1) Domestic violence in families of alcoholics is serious. (2) In such families, 63.5% of wives had been injured as a result of physical violence by the husband. (3) In 86.6% of such incidents, the husband or the woman herself had been drinking. (4) Physical, social and economical violence leads to the breakdown of marital relationships. (5) After alcoholics give up drinking, their levels of domestic violence are reduced.
