《酒精與酒精中毒》發(fā)表關(guān)于酒精中毒與酒精研究的生物醫(yī)學(xué)、心理學(xué)和社會學(xué)方面的論文，前提是這些論文對該領(lǐng)域的知識做出了新的重大貢獻。論文包括實驗獲得的新結(jié)果，對酒精研究和治療領(lǐng)域重要的新實驗(包括臨床)方法的描述，或?qū)ΜF(xiàn)有結(jié)果的新解釋。理論貢獻與處理實驗工作的論文被認為是平等的，只要這些理論貢獻在很大程度上不具有思辨或哲學(xué)性質(zhì)。

Alcohol and Alcoholism publishes papers on the biomedical, psychological, and sociological aspects of alcoholism and alcohol research, provided that they make a new and significant contribution to knowledge in the field.Papers include new results obtained experimentally, descriptions of new experimental (including clinical) methods of importance to the field of alcohol research and treatment, or new interpretations of existing results.Theoretical contributions are considered equally with papers dealing with experimental work provided that such theoretical contributions are not of a largely speculative or philosophical nature.
