本文介绍了1984年一般人口调查中关于酒精消费和酒精问题的调查结果，并与以前的调查结果进行了比较。18%的男性和5%的女性被归类为频繁酗酒者; 6%的男性饮酒者和2%的女性饮酒者报告说，他们每周“喝醉”一次或更多次。测量饮酒问题的系统，主要是基于工作的Cahalan和房间，1介绍和解释。正如在解释一般人口调查中衡量饮酒问题的任何系统时一样，读者必须意识到，由此产生的流行率受到关于应在何处绘制分界点的任意决定的强烈影响。考虑到这一警告，结果显示，9%的男性饮酒者和4%的女性饮酒者报告了被定义为中等严重程度的问题饮酒行为。同样，14%的男性饮酒者和6%的女性饮酒者报告了中度饮酒的不良有形后果。饮酒、酗酒、醉酒和饮酒问题的年龄和性别分布与预期一致，男性报告这些问题的比例高于女性，年轻饮酒者报告这些问题的比例高于老年饮酒者。
Findings on alcohol consumption and alcohol problems from a 1984 general population survey are presented and compared to previous survey findings. Eighteen percent of all men and 5% of all women were classified as frequent heavy drinkers; 6% of all men drinkers and 2% of all women drinkers reported that they got “drunk” as often as once per week or more. A system for measuring drinking problems, based largely on the work of Cahalan and Room,1is presented and explained. As when interpreting any system of measuring drinking problems in a general population survey, readers must be aware that the resulting prevalence rates are strongly influenced by arbitrary decisions about where cutpoints should be drawn. With this caveat in mind, the results show that 9% of men drinkers and 4% of women drinkers reported problematic drinking behavior at what is defined as a moderate level of severity. Similarly, 14% of men drinkers and 6% of women drinkers reported adverse tangible consequences of drinking at a moderate level of severity. The age and sex distributions of drinking, heavy drinking, intoxication, and drinking problems were as expected, with greater proportions of men than women reporting these things and greater proportions of younger than older drinkers reporting them.
