这项研究描述了西开普省五个社区的酒精消费情况。来自社区家庭样本(n=591)的横截面数据描述了成年男性和女性以及农场工人与其他人的酒精使用模式。数据显示，男性现在饮酒的可能性比女性高，分别为75.1%和65.8%(p=0.033)；农场工人比其他职业的人更有可能现在饮酒(83.1%比66.8%，p=0.004)。在这一群体中，周末狂饮是常态；男性在过去一周比女性更有可能酗酒59.8%比48.8%(p=0.086)；农场工人比其他人更有可能狂饮75.0%比47.5%(p<；0.001)。“DOP”的遗留问题导致了当前危险的饮酒行为。11个农场的农场主或经理接受了采访，他们描述了农场的工作条件，以及工人目前的酒精使用情况如何反映了DOP的遗留问题。过去，在11个农场中，有6个农场的工人被给予了DOP，但由于不同的原因而被停止使用。对醉酒上班是零容忍的；农场老板鼓励负责任地使用酒精，并在必要时帮助农场工人获得解决酒精问题的帮助。农场所有者报告了一些积极的举措，走在了提供有意义的工资和其他重要便利设施的运动的前面。需要进一步的研究来评估一些农场的进步做法是否会减少有害的酒精使用。
This study describes alcohol consumption in five Western Cape Province communities. Cross-sectional data from a community household sample (n = 591) describe the alcohol use patterns of adult males and females, and farm workers vs. others. Data reveal that men were more likely to be current drinkers than women, 75.1% vs. 65.8% (p = 0.033); farm laborers were more likely to be current drinkers than individuals in other occupations 83.1% vs. 66.8% (p = 0.004). Group, binge drinking on weekends was the norm; men were more likely to be binge drinkers in the past week than women 59.8% vs. 48.8% (p = 0.086); farm workers were more likely to binge than others 75.0% vs. 47.5% (p < 0.001). The legacy of “Dop” contributes to current risky drinking behaviors. Farm owners or managers were interviewed on 11 farms, they described working conditions on their farms and how the legacy of “Dop” is reflected in the current use of alcohol by their workers. “Dop” was given to farm workers in the past on six of the 11 farms, but was discontinued for different reasons. There is zero tolerance for coming to work intoxicated; farm owners encourage responsible use of alcohol and assist farm workers in getting help for alcohol problems when necessary. The farm owners report some positive initiatives, were ahead of the movement to provide meaningful wages, and provide other important amenities. Further research is needed to assess whether progressive practices on some farms will reduce harmful alcohol use.
