流行病学数据一致表明，已婚（相对于单身或分居/离婚/丧偶）与较低的酒精使用和较低的酒精使用障碍几率有关。婚姻的保护作用通常被解释为角色不相容和社会控制过程，即个人将其行为与配偶角色的社会规范期望相匹配，配偶监测和控制彼此的健康行为，如饮酒。除了这些主要影响之外，婚姻状况会缓和遗传对酒精使用行为的影响，例如与未婚个体相比，已婚个体的遗传风险通常会减弱。这些发现与遗传影响在高度社会控制的环境中被削弱的观点是一致的。
Epidemiological data consistently demonstrate that being married (relative to being single or separated/divorced/widowed) is associated with lower alcohol use and lower odds of alcohol use disorder. The protective effects of marriage are often explained in terms of role incompatibility and social control processes, whereby individuals match their behaviors with the socially normative expectations of the spousal role, and spouses monitor and control one another’s health behaviors, such as drinking. Above and beyond these main effects, marital status moderates genetic influences on alcohol use behaviors such that genetic risk is typically attenuated among married compared to unmarried individuals. Such findings are consistent with the idea that genetic influences are attenuated in environments in which there is a high degree of social control.
