	[Clinical Preventive Services] Screening for Problem Drinking (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Numerous studies demonstrate that clinicians are frequently unaware of problem drinking by their patients.10 Early detection and intervention may alleviate ongoing medical and social problems due to drinking and reduce the future risks from excessive alcohol use.
		Early attention to problem drinking is especially important in young adults: hazardous drinking is common, adverse effects of alcohol increase with duration of use, and few persons initiate drinking after age 30.116 Early detection is also important for alcohol-dependent patients, but effective treatment requires more intensive and sustained efforts to promote abstinence.
		Responses suggestive of problem drinking should be confirmed with more extensive discussions with the patient (and family members where indicated) about patterns of use, problems related to drinking, and symptoms of alcohol dependence.2 Routine measurement of biochemical markers, such as serum GGT, is not recommended for screening purposes.
