Alcohol and Alcohol Problems Research 8. Scotland

Scotland is part of the United Kingdom. In spite of this Scotland has a considerable degree of autonomy in relation to the provision of help for problem drinkers. It is noted that traditionally Scottish culture is ambivalent towards the use and misuse of alcohol. Scientific interest in this topic has been evident since the early Nineteenth Century and a disproportionately high percentage of U.K. alcohol research has been conducted in Scotland.
