目的：研究表明婚姻对饮酒和饮酒问题的影响。这种影响的特点是，与单身或离婚的人相比，已婚男女的消费和问题都更少。方法：本文回顾了有关可能解释婚姻效应的过程的证据。结果：文献表明，婚姻效应反映了三个过程：(1)过渡到婚姻引发的饮酒量减少；(2)大量饮酒对婚姻质量和婚姻稳定的有害影响；(3)过渡到离婚导致饮酒量增加。结论：考虑到这些转变的性质，人们认为，结婚和离婚的转变应被视为成人预防活动的独特机会，但需要更多的预防前研究，重点关注这些转变的变化，以帮助目标预防工作。
Objective: Research indicates a marriage effect with respect to drinking and drinking problems. This effect is characterized by less consumption and fewer problems among married men and women as compared with either single or divorced individuals. Method: This article reviews evidence regarding processes that might account for the marriage effect. Results: The literature suggests that the marriage effect reflects three processes: (1) reduced alcohol consumption triggered by the transition to marriage, (2) the deleterious effect of heavy drinking on marital quality and r.,arital stability and (3) increased consumption in response to the transition to divorce. Conclusions: Given the nature of these transitions, it is argued that transitions to marriage and divorce should be viewed as unique opportunities for adult prevention activities, but that more pre-prevention research focused on changes over these transitions is needed to help target prevention efforts.
