Blaming the Booze

The Attribution of Responsibility for Drunken Behavior

Barbara Critchlow

University of Washington

Evidence from historical analyses, legal history, and attribution studies is reviewed as it concerns how evidence of drunkenness affects the attribution of responsibility. The findings are discussed from the viewpoint of attribution theory. Several theoretical issues are discussed, including definitions of responsibility and individual differences. The available information supports the cultural ambivalence toward the use of alcohol.
