背景：社会角色影响饮酒。然而，关于特定角色的具体方面--这里是为人父母--如何影响饮酒，人们知之甚少。这项研究的研究问题如下：(I)家庭相关指标(FRI)是否与母亲和父亲的饮酒有关？以及(2)就业水平，即全职、兼职或失业，是否缓和了家庭和父母饮酒之间的关系？方法：对居住在瑞士的3217名年龄在25-50岁之间的父母进行调查。年饮酒次数、危险单次饮酒次数、周五每天饮酒量(最小的孩子年龄、家庭中的子女数量、照顾孩子的主要情况/家务)的均值比较和多元回归模型。结果：在母亲中观察到水果和酒精使用之间的保护性关系。相比之下，在父亲中，观察到水果和酒精的使用之间存在有害的联系。虽然母亲的责任通常对饮酒有保护作用，但当母亲有带薪工作时，孩子的数量对每天的饮酒量有不利影响。在父亲中，最小孩子的年龄、孩子的数量和饮酒频率之间的相关性受到有偿就业水平的影响。结论：研究表明，在瑞士，女性饮酒与女性饮酒之间存在系统性负相关的情况比男性更多。有证据表明，母亲的责任本身可能会防止饮酒，但如果母亲有额外的带薪工作，可能会变成一个有害的三角关系。
Background: Social roles influence alcohol use. Nevertheless, little is known about how specific aspects of a given role, here parenthood, may influence alcohol use. The research questions for this study were the following: (i) are family-related indicators (FRI) linked to the alcohol use of mothers and fathers? and (ii) does the level of employment, i.e. full-time, part-time employment or unemployment, moderate the relationship between FRI and parental alcohol use? Methods: Survey data of 3217 parents aged 25-50 living in Switzerland. Mean comparisons and multiple regression models of annual frequency of drinking and risky single occasion drinking, quantity per day on FRI (age of the youngest child, number of children in the household, majority of child-care/household duties). Results: Protective relationships between FRI and alcohol use were observed among mothers. In contrast, among fathers, detrimental associations between FRI and alcohol use were observed. Whereas maternal responsibilities in general had a protective effect on alcohol use, the number of children had a detrimental impact on the quantity of alcohol consumed per day when mothers were in paid employment. Among fathers, the correlations between age of the youngest child, number of children and frequency of drinking was moderated by the level of paid employment. Conclusion: The study showed that in Switzerland, a systematic negative relationship was more often found between FRI and women's drinking than men's. Evidence was found that maternal responsibilities per se may protect from alcohol use but can turn into a detrimental triangle if mothers are additionally in paid employment.
