2.Drinkers with more than 8 point from AUDIT(Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) are 62.7% of the prisoners. And at 12 point 51.1% of prisoners are problem drinkers. Generally the whole rate of problem drinking is higher than general people and college students.
3.Drinking has an effect on criminal patterns, especially violence and adultery have something close to do with drinking.
4.Criminal who has the history of problem drinking family are more close with problem drinking, violence and adultery crime than criminals who has not.
5.Those who have problem drinking are statistically very significant in the tendency of violence and adultery crime.
