A Comparison Between the Involuntary and Voluntary Treatment of Patients With Alcohol Use Disorder in a Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program
Conclusions:
Findings revealed that there was no significant relationship when comparing types of motivation for treatment in a residential treatment program for veterans in regard to length of sobriety posttreatment. Therefore, a veteran’s motivation for treatment may not necessarily be an accurate indicator of treatment outcomes (i.e., length of sobriety posttreatment) for residential treatment settings.

Alcohol Consumption and Binge Drinking Among Young Adults Aged 20–30 Years in Lisbon, Portugal
Conclusions:
Although approximately one fifth of the sampled subjects reported being nondrinkers, the percentage of binge drinkers in this study was significantly higher than that reported in other studies. We also found that binge drinking is more common among vocational training students, although this difference was not statistically significant. Further studies are needed on this age group and in nonacademic settings. (Source: Journal of Addictions Nursing)
