while ages of onset for alcohol problems varied based on the population studied. Scott et al (2008), for example, found few differences in the age of occurrence of alcohol problems between male and female Blacks, while Schuckit et al. (1998) reported older ages of occurrence for females versus males for most alcohol problems in a predominately White sample. Comparisons showed a higher prevalence of alcohol problems for White adults versus Black adults with few exceptions, with a later age of onset for Blacks for getting into alcohol-related fights and losing control of problem drinking (Scott, et al., 2008).
