TL;DR
Tolerance to alcohol may be a useful concept regarding nondependent drinkers that is not just a proxy for alcohol quantity but also reflects the presence of additional problems.

Although SSAGA was designed to provide for broad phenotyping of alcoholism, review of its new features suggests its suitability for a variety of family studies, not just those focusing on substance abuse.

Results from this study and two previous studies which examined reliability indicate that the SSAGA is a highly reliable and valid instrument for use in studies of a variety of psychiatric disorders, including alcohol and drug dependence.

DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for alcohol abuse and dependence form a continuum of severity, calling into question the abuse–dependence distinction in the DSM-IV and the interpretation of abuse as a milder disorder than dependence.

158 Citations1999Nancy K. Pollock, Christopher S. Martin
The results indicate limitations of the DSM-IV criteria for alcohol use disorders when applied to adolescents and "diagnostic orphans" should be considered separately from other drinkers in research and treatment efforts.

147 Citations1998Christopher S. Martin, Ken C. Winters
The diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) (i.e., alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence) as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM–IV) were developed largely from research and clinical experience with adults and have significant limitations when applied to this age group.

139 Citations2003Deborah S. Hasin, Marc A. Schuckit +4 more
The findings supported the validity of DSM-IV alcohol dependence across numerous study designs and samples, suggested some value in a dimensional dependence measure, and raised questions about the validityof the diagnosis of alcohol abuse as currently defined.

139 Citations1998Marc A. Schuckit, Jean‐Bernard Daeppen +3 more
Overall, the time course of alcohol-related problems for men and women were more similar than different, and there is little evidence that the natural history of alcohol dependence in women is substantially different than in men.

115 Citations2001Marc Schuckit, Tom L. Smith +4 more
The prognostic validity of the DSM-IV diagnoses of alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence was evaluated by examining the 5-year clinical course associated with those diagnoses in a large group of predominantly blue-collar men and women.
AddictionAlcohol consumption in high school adolescents: frequency of use and dimensional structure of associated problems
108 Citations1996Peter M. Lewinsohn, Paul Rohde +1 more
Boys in general had greater usual frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption than girls and began drinking at an earlier age; girls with a diagnosis of alcohol abuse/dependence had a significantly earlier mean age of alcohol disorder onset and were more likely to have a relapse ofalcohol disorder.
American Journal of PsychiatryClinical Relevance of the Distinction Between Alcohol Dependence With and Without a Physiological Component
105 Citations1998Marc A. Schuckit, Tom L. Smith +6 more
The results support the clinical relevance of distinguishing between alcohol-dependent patients with and without a physiological component and indicate a potential advantage to limiting that definition to withdrawal only.

Evidence is found for association between GABRA1 and COGA alcohol dependence, history of blackouts, age at first drunkenness, and level of response to alcohol.

83 Citations1999Marc Schuckit, Jean‐Bernard Daeppen +6 more
The results support the importance of the designation of a physiological component to dependence, especially for people who have experienced a withdrawal syndrome.

79 Citations2000James W. Langenbucher, Christopher S. Martin +4 more
The Withdrawal-Gate Model (WGM) was superior to the DSM-IV in concurrent and predictive validity on most measures and future diagnostic systems may be more reliable and valid if they require evidence of withdrawal for substance dependence.

47 Citations2001Tammy Chung, Christopher S. Martin +2 more
Average heavy-drinking quantity per occasion, combined with a minimum frequency of drinking, demonstrated better performance than any percentage increase definition, and alternatives to a change-based definition of tolerance warrant study due to limits of change- based definitions when initial-dr drinking quantity shows a high degree of variability.

40 Citations2003Mimy Y. Eng, Marc A. Schuckit +1 more
The diagnostic orphans were most similar to the men with abuse, although they had lower quantities and frequencies of alcohol use, endorsed fewer additional alcohol-related problems and reported less involvement with drugs compared with that group.
Drug and Alcohol DependenceShould tolerance and withdrawal be required for substance dependence disorders?
37 Citations1994Kathleen M. Carroll
Across classes of drugs, requiring tolerance or withdrawal had little effect on rates of dependence, as most subjects who met dependence criteria for each drug class also reported tolerance.
