Abstract: Parental Bonding Inventories (PBI) were given to 173 males, mean age 22, and analyzed based on the participant's familial risk for alcoholism. Differences in PBI scores were examined based on the recency and severity of paternal drinking problems, and on whether both the mother and father had alcohol problems or only the father. Differences in drinking patterns of sons were also examined based on PBI ratings. Fathers of the high familial risk participants were rated by sons as being significantly less Caring than the fathers of low familial risk participants. Participants who rated their fathers as low in Protection had significantly more days of heavy drinking in the past year compared to those who rated their fathers as high in Protection.
