Kaysen et al. (2007) explain that the use of alcohol is associated with incidences of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Among battered women, alcohol use is common and often linked to other trauma symptoms (Kaysen et al., 2007). Drinking is often based on a mechanism to cope with trauma symptoms arising from violence. Kaysen et al. (2007) explain a significant difference between trauma incidences among the heavy drinkers, abstainers, and moderate drinkers.

The heavy episodic drinking by the battered women is strongly associated with trauma.
