摘要:

AbstractThe consumption containment rate (CCR), proposed by Taylor as a way of characterizing the upper tail of the alcohol consumption distribution, is analyzed and estimated from a collection of data sets from different countries. It is found that CCR curves for different countries are highly different at low consumption levels. However, at high consumption levels, they are remarkably similar across cultures. It is proposed that this may be due to cross‐cultural similarities in heavy drinking career

摘要:

AbstractAlcohol consumption in the Netherlands increased at a very fast rate from 1960 to 1975, especially among young men. The question is raised whether members of the cohort that started drinking during the 1960s show a lasting deviation from cohorts born earlier with respect to drinking behavior. Cohort analysis is used to assess the effects of aging, period and cohort membership on changes in abstinence, mean consumption and heavy drinking in the Netherlands in the last three decades. Social interaction theory (Skog, 1980) is used as an interpretative framework. Conclusions are that abstinence is related w aging, while mean consumption and heavy drinking are associated with period effects. Populations of men and women appear to change drinking behavior collectively. Results on women are more regular than those on men.

摘要:

AbstractAdoption studies have led to the suggestion that there may be two distinct subgroups of alcoholics with differing genetic contributions. Among 249 male alcoholics we used discriminant analysis to relate the features of type 1 and type 2 alcoholism it the presence or absence of a family history of alcoholism in male paternal relatives. We found that guilt and hinging, features usually attributed to type 1 (milieu‐limited) alcoholism, were in fact more prevalent m the family history positive group. An additional cohort analysis found cohort‐related variations in type 1/type 2 characteristics. The possible implications of these findings are discus

摘要:

AbstractThis paper describes the relationship between severity of dependence and medical and social consequences in a clinical sample. Respondents constitute a sample of 219 men and 162 women interviewed in nine alcohol programs in a Northern California county. Results suggest that the number of dependence indicators reported by respondents is a valid indicator of severity of alcohol dependence, and that there is a positive relationship between the number of indicators and the number of medical and social consequences reported by respondents. When specific medical and social consequences are examined, an analysis restricted to men only, the number of dependence indicators is associated with stomach, heart and liver problems, DTs, hallucinations, public drunkenness, family arguments and serious accidents, but it is not associated with drunk driving arrests and job problems.

摘要:

AbstractMortality rates for 639 drinking drivers were calculated. The sample consisted of all individuals convicted of a second offence in two Ontario cities (Oshawa and North Bay) between 1973 and late 1978. There were 53 deaths (51 males, 2 females) in the sample prior to the end of 1986. Among males, significant excess total mortality was observed (Standardized Mortality Ratio = 1.7); similar trends were observed among females. Age‐related excess mortality and excess mortality by cause were strikingly similar to mortality patterns observed among alcoholic
