目的：以前的研究表明，婚姻导致酒精使用的减少，特别是对女性。由于20岁之前结婚（早婚）是一个越轨的标志，婚姻的保护作用可能不会延伸到那些在青春期结婚的人。我们比较了青春期婚姻与青年期婚姻对酒精消费的影响，酒精相关的负面后果以及29岁时的重度间歇性饮酒。方法：我们分析了1,138名年龄在18岁至29岁之间的纵向队列女性的数据。最初的样本是从加州和俄勒冈州的30所中学招募的，第一次调查是在13岁时。结果：未婚、早婚或在20岁至29岁之间结婚的女性在18岁时的饮酒情况没有差异。与单身女性相比，年轻时结婚的女性不太可能参与任何酒精使用，重度间歇性饮酒或经历负面后果，并且在29岁时饮酒较少。在青春期结婚的女性在29岁时报告的负面后果比单身女性少，并且（如果她们没有离婚）不太可能偶尔酗酒或经历任何负面后果，报告的后果更少，饮酒量更少。无论妇女是否离婚，都可以观察到青年时期婚姻的保护作用。父母身份和23岁之前上大学并不能解释婚姻的影响。结论：结果支持角色理论，该理论认为，结婚的人被社会化为传统的成年人角色，阻止越轨行为。
Objective: Previous research shows that marriage leads to reductions in alcohol use, especially for women. Because marriage prior to age 20 (early marriage) is a marker for deviance, the protective effects of marriage may not extend to those who marry in adolescence. We compared the effects of marriage in adolescence versus young adulthood on alcohol consumption, negative alcohol-related consequences and heavy episodic drinking at age 29. Method: We analyzed data from 1,138 women in a longitudinal cohort followed from ages 18 to 29. The original sample was recruited from 30 California and Oregon middle schools and first surveyed at age 13. Results: Women who had not married, had married early or had married between ages 20 and 29 did not differ on alcohol use at age 18. Women who married as young adults were less likely than singles to engage in any alcohol use, heavy episodic drinking or experience negative consequences and reported less alcohol use at age 29. Women who married in adolescence reported fewer negative consequences at age 29 than did singles and (if they had not divorced) were less likely to engage in heavy episodic drinking or experience any negative consequences, reported fewer consequences and consumed less alcohol. The protective effects of marriage in young adulthood were observed whether or not women divorced. Parenthood and college attendance before age 23 did not explain the marriage effect. Conclusions: Results support role theory, which posits that individuals who marry are socialized into conventional adult roles that discourage deviant behavior.
