TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Comparison of patrons of hotels with early opening and standard hours JO - International journal of the addictions A1 - Smith, D. I. SP - 155 EP - 163 VL - 21 IS - 2 N2 - A comparison was made of 72 men who were patrons in hotels with 6 A.M. or 7 A.M. opening, with a control group of 87 men interviewed in nearby hotels with 10 A.M. opening. The two groups were very similar on biographical characteristics, yet the men in the early-opening group consumed significantly more alcohol, had more drinking sessions, spent longer in drinking, and had significantly higher SMAST scores. The early opening was apparently facilitating problem drinking.
