This study compared the age/gender norms and perceptions of drinking between alcoholics and nonalcoholics via interview and questionnaire. Age norms included acceptable drinking levels for the following age groups：16, 21, 40, and 60, both male and female.
The results of this study were as follows：
1) Alcoholics were less tolerant in drinking in all categories(especially young males and females) than nonalcoholics.
2) The rank of order of acceptance of drinking by age/ender of alcoholics was highest for a 40-year-old male, followed
by a 60-year-old male, a 40-year-old female, and a 21-yearold male. However of nonalcoholics it was highest for a 40-
year-old male, followed by a 40-year-old female, a 21-yearold male, and a 60-year-old male. The lowest acceptance of
drinking was for adolescents, especially females in both groups.
3) Both groups showed a greater tolerance level for males than for females drinking.
