Based on a selective review of the occupational alcoholism literature, a number of difficulties with the research regarding the effects of the workplace on problem drinking were identified. The identification of these difficulties led to an alternative model being proposed. The alternative emphasizes interactions between predispositional factors and the workplace and does not advocate continuing to search for main effects of the workplace on problem drinking. The paper closes with 10 recommendations for future research.
