TL;DR
It is well known that alcoholism often occurs in persons having an antisocial personality, and the behavior of persons with alcoholism often appears to be antisocial in nature, which can lead to diagnostic confusion.
Abstract
It is well known that alcoholism often occurs in persons having an antisocial personality. Conversely, the behavior of persons with alcoholism often appears to be antisocial in nature. Thus, the differentiation of alcoholism from antisocial personality can be quite difficult and lead to diagnostic confusion [27]. While these two disorders are similar in some respects, and may sometimes occur together, their natural histories probably differ.
