The article is based on the supposition that personal experiences with alcohol influence how master's of social work (MSW) students interact with problem-drinking clients and their significant others. The study compared self-report drinking practices of 413 MSW students with 552 undergraduate college students from universities in the Northeast. The variables were having five or more drinks during the past two weeks, feeling the need to cut down, having an alcohol problem, recovering, and consuming the student's last drink. The MSW students, within age and gender categories, did not drink as excessively as the undergraduate students, although a greater percentage were recovering, a finding of high relevance for the training of these students.
