从连续入院的 300 名男性酗酒者中选出。他们被分为三个诊断亚组：原发性酗酒者；患有单相情感障碍的酗酒者；以及患有双相情感障碍的酗酒者。出院后两年内进行了三次后续访谈，三个亚组报告了情绪变化频率、接受治疗量和住院就诊率的差异，尽管与酗酒相关的项目没有明显差异。然而，有一些迹象表明，双相情感障碍患者在随访期间的功能水平更好，尤其是那些年龄较大、有较长时间禁欲史、并且与戒酒互诫协会（AA）及其家庭医生保持更频繁联系的患者。
Three-hundred male alcoholics were selected from consecutive admissions to hospital. They were divided into three diagnostic sub-groups: primary alcoholics; alcoholics with unipolar affective disorder; and alcoholics with bipolar affective disorder. After three follow-up interviews over a 2-year period after hospital discharge, the three sub-groups reported differences in frequency of mood change, amount of treatment received, and hospital attendance, although there were no clear-cut differences in items associated with their alcoholism. There were, however, some indications that bipolar patients functioned at a better level during the follow-up period, particularly those who were older, had a previous history of longer periods of abstinence, and maintained more frequent contact with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and their family doctor.
