Conscripts granted disability pension in 1971–2008 and “risk users”a of alcohol.
Number of Swedish male conscripts granted disability pension (DP) in 1971–2008 and among them number of “risk users”a of alcohol defined at conscription in 1969–1970. aSubjects were classified as having “risk use” if at least one of the following condition was fulfilled: having a history of being apprehended for drunkenness, needing an eye-opener to overcome hangover, having been drunk often/quite often, reporting alcohol consumption measured as more than 250 g 100% alcohol/week.
