摘要

Two simple models for the spread of heavy drinking among a network of individuals are re-introduced and analysed. We provide theorems on the spread of alcohol abuse for these models in cases involving simple connection schemes. Indicators for this spread that resemble the R-0 used in disease assessment are suggested and studied. We further provide computations with our models on general application networks and begin to study the reliability of the spread indicators.
