A group of alcoholic women was compared to a matched group of nonalcoholic women on several cognitive tasks. Alcoholic women were impaired on both a spatial and a verbal abstracting test and were significantly more neurotic than the control women. The menstrual status of the women proved to be important when comparing the two groups.
