Inclusion Criteria

  • All adults patients aged 18 to 65 years of age will be asked to undergo alcohol use disorders screening (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test [AUDIT]) (Rubio et al., 1998) by their primary care physicians (PCPh). All patients who screen positive will be contacted and invited to participate in a face-to-face interview to determine their eligibility for the trial. Patients will be eligible for the randomised trial if they report a pattern of binge drinking and score 15 or lower on the AUDIT (scores above 15 were referred to the Drug Abuse Programme for Treatment). Patients eligible for the study will be binge drinkers, defined as men who had drunk 5 or more standard drinks per occasion (12.8 g of alcohol per drink) on 1 or more occasions in the previous month. Women will be included in the study sample if they had drunk 4 or more standard drinks per occasion on 1 or more occasions in the previous month.
