目的-本文的目的是研究短期内的变化，在丹麦，芬兰和瑞典南部的人口的亚组酒精消费量大规模减少酒精税在丹麦和芬兰和大幅增加旅行者的津贴在芬兰和瑞典。设计一般人群随机抽样调查前后的变化，使用北方瑞典作为对照网站。设置丹麦，芬兰，瑞典南部和瑞典北方。参与者：16-69岁的受访者。饮酒量是报告的主要指标。按性别、年龄、收入和2003年消费水平审查了变化情况。结果在所有三个研究地点，女性和男性的消费量下降或保持不变。在所有国家，年龄、性别和收入亚组的相对变化相似。从绝对值来看，在丹麦、芬兰和瑞典南部，各年龄段之间的差异始终存在，年轻人的水平较高，老年人的水平较低。在芬兰和瑞典南部，妇女和男子的消费趋于一致。这些变化并不因收入而有系统的差异。在重度饮酒者中变化并不大。结论结果没有证实预期：在任何国家或人口亚组中，消费量的增加都没有超过对照地点。如果说有影响的话-如芬兰的综合数据所示-老年人的影响似乎比年轻人的影响更大，在芬兰和瑞典南部，妇女的影响比男子的影响更大。
Aims The aim of this paper is to study short-term changes in alcohol consumption by subgroups of the population in Denmark, Finland and southern Sweden following large-scale decreases in alcohol taxation in Denmark and Finland and large increases in travellers' allowances in Finland and Sweden. Design General population random samples surveyed before and after the changes, using northern Sweden as a control site. Setting Denmark, Finland, southern Sweden and northern Sweden. Participants Respondents aged 16-69 years. Measurements Volume of drinking is the main measure reported. Changes are examined by gender, age, income and year 2003 consumption level. Results Consumption decreased or remained the same among women and men in all three study sites. Relative changes were similar across subgroups of age, gender and income in all countries. In absolute terms, there was a consistent differential change by age in Denmark, Finland and Southern Sweden, with the higher level of the young and lower level of the old converging. Women's and men's consumption converged in Finland and southern Sweden. The changes did not differ systematically by income. Changes were not larger among heavier drinkers. Conclusions The results did not confirm expectations: an increase in consumption larger than that in the control site could not be shown in any of the countries or subgroups of the population. If there has been an effect - as shown in aggregate data in Finland - it seems to have been stronger among the old than the young and, in Finland and southern Sweden, among women rather than men.
