报告审查了新西兰各职业群体自我报告的酒精消费情况。1978-1979年，对代表一般成年人的10 000名抽样者进行了调查。本研究仅考虑男性（N = 5000）的数据。各种职业和职业组根据饮酒频率和数量的几个变量进行排名。讨论了这些变量的相互关系以及与之相关的工作条件。饮酒模式与一般社会阶层之间存在关联，但61%的特定职业群体形成了每周一次或两次饮用25-60毫升无水酒精的集群。饮酒变量的特定职业群体的极端立场进行了检查的工作特点。大多数相关性都很低;工作时饮酒是最高的。这种关系最好用职业群体的社会阶层和频率与数量的二分法来描述。讨论了饮酒强度的社会阶层分布。下层社会的就业与饮酒频率较低、饮酒量较高以及肝硬化死亡率较高有关。总体而言，社会阶层似乎是一个比职业群体或饮酒模式更重要的指标。
The self-reported alcohol consumption of various occupational groups in New Zealand is examined. A sample of 10,000, representative of the general adult population, was questioned in 1978-1979. Only data on men (N = 5000) are considered in the present study. Various occupations and groups of occupations are ranked on several variables of frequency and quantity of drinking. The interrelationships of these variables and the working conditions related to them are discussed. There is an association between drinking pattern and general social class, but 61% of the specific occupational groups form a cluster in the range of 25-60 ml of absolute alcohol consumed on one or two occasions per week. The extreme positions on drinking variables of specific occupational groups is examined in terms of job characteristics. Most of the correlations are very low; drinking at work is the highest. The relationships can best be described in terms of the social class of the occupational groups and the frequency vs quantity dichotomy. The distribution of the social classes in terms of drinking intensity is discussed. Employment in the lower classes is related to lower frequency and higher quantity of drinking, and higher cirrhosis mortality. Overall, social class appears to be a more important indicator than occupational group or drinking pattern.
