目的：检查自我报告的酒精消费量和消费量之间的关系，对2009年NHMRC指南的认识，每天不超过两个标准饮料，饮酒超过指南阈值和酒精作为癌症风险因素的看法。方法：2004年至2012年，对大约2,700名18岁及以上的南澳大利亚人进行了年度横断面调查。结果：在2011年和2012年，21.6%的成年人饮酒超过指导阈值（33.0%的男性; 10.7%的女性）。虽然53.5%的人正确地确定了国家人权和海关总署为妇女规定的消费门槛，但只有20.3%的人正确地确定了男子的消费门槛（39.0%的人提出了更高的数额）。有很大一部分人表示，他们不知道女性（39.2%）或男性（40.4%）的消费门槛。2012年，只有36.6%的人认为酒精是癌症的重要风险因素。男性过度消费的重要预测因素是：家庭收入较高;不认为酒精是癌症的重要风险因素。女性的预测因素相似，但家庭收入的作用更加突出。结论：男性饮酒超过指导方针的可能性是女性的近三倍。大多数人认为酒精与癌症之间没有重要联系。意识到最新的NHMRC指南的消费门槛仍然很低，特别是对男性。影响：提高认识的NHMRC指南和酒精与癌症之间的联系的战略是必要的。
Objective: To examine self-reported alcohol consumption and relationships between consumption, awareness of the 2009 NHMRC guidelines of no more than two standard drinks per day, drinking in excess of the guideline threshold and perceptions of alcohol as a risk factor for cancer.Methods: Questions were included in annual, cross-sectional surveys of approximately 2,700 South Australians aged 18 years and over from 2004 to 2012. Consumption data for 2011 and 2012 were merged for the majority of analyses.Results: In 2011 and 2012, 21.6% of adults drank in excess of the guideline threshold (33.0% males; 10.7% females). While 53.5% correctly identified the NHMRC consumption threshold for women, only 20.3% did so for men (39.0% nominated a higher amount). A large minority said they did not know the consumption threshold for women (39.2%) or men (40.4%). In 2012, only 36.6% saw alcohol as an important risk factor for cancer. Important predictors of excess consumption for men were: higher household income; and not perceiving alcohol as an important risk factor for cancer. Predictors for women were similar but the role of household income was even more prominent.Conclusions: Men were nearly three times as likely to drink in excess of the guidelines as women. The majority of the population did not see an important link between alcohol and cancer. Awareness of the latest NHMRC guidelines consumption threshold is still low, particularly for men.Implications: A strategy to raise awareness of the NHMRC guidelines and the link between alcohol and cancer is warranted.
