    AbstractWhile extensive research has been conducted to determine internal and external stimuli for drinking by alcoholics, the topic of how demographic, diagnostic, and personality variables may relate to these precipitants is largely unexplored. This study suggests that stimuli to use alcohol or drugs differ partly as a function of diagnosis (alcohol dependence vs. concurrent alcohol and drug dependence). Age, education, and gender do not appear related to the stimuli in either diagnostic group. Personality characteristics of cognitive reflectiveness, impulse control, sociability, and intrapunitiveness, however, seem to be associated with certain classes of high risk stimuli.
