Given high levels of occupational stress and toxic exposures, firefighters have a relatively high prevalence of occupationally-related medical and mental health disorders compared to the general public. Previous research found high rates of heavy and binge drinking among male firefighters. This study is the first to examine alcohol use among women firefighters. Data were collected as part of a national online survey of women, career firefighters. A total of 1,913 women firefighters completed questions regarding alcohol use. Nearly 40% reported binge drinking in the previous month and 4.3% reported driving while intoxicated. Among those who drank, 16.5% screened positive for problem drinking. Problem drinkers were more than 2.5 times as likely to have been diagnosed with depression or have symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and were approximately 40% more likely to have been injured on the job in the previous year, when compared to other women firefighters. Those who screened positive for problem drinking also were significantly less likely to say that they would recommend a fire service career to other women. As with male firefighters, heavy and problem drinking are prevalent among women firefighters and are associated with negative occupational outcomes.
