ResumoA stepwise linear discriminant analysis was conducted between young adult alcoholics in an alcoholism treatment center and non-alcoholic college students. Analysis of 31 commonly ordered clinical laboratory tests yielded three significant variables (urea nitrogen, potassium and MCV) which correctly classify 89% of alcoholics and 92% of non-alcoholics.
