自20世纪70年代以来，人们一直担心妇女可能已经开始采取男子的饮酒行为，这一过程被视为妇女解放的结果，在这一过程中，妇女越来越多地进入与男子相似的职业和/或生活方式。这就是所谓的趋同假说。本分析调查了缩小性别差距的可能性，包括至少有两个时间点的国家调查数据的四个国家：芬兰（1984年，1992年），德国（1984年，1990年），荷兰（1981年，1989年）和瑞士（1987年，1992年）。只有在芬兰才能发现显著的趋同，其中包括芬兰妇女成为目前饮酒者的人数增加较多，妇女平均消费量相对增加较多。仅在芬兰发现了性别趋同现象，这不仅是由于观察期较长，而且也是由于妇女的平等地位和该国饮酒文化的变化。
Since the 1970s there has been concern that women may have started to adopt the drinking behaviors of men, a process seen as the result of emancipation in which women increasingly move into professions and/or lifestyles similar to those of men. This is called the convergence hypothesis. The present analysis investigated a possible closing of the gender gap and includes four countries that had national survey data for at least two time points: Finland (1984, 1992), Germany (1984, 1990), The Netherlands (1981, 1989), and Switzerland (1987, 1992). Significant convergence could be found only in Finland, which consisted of a greater increase of Finnish women becoming current drinkers and of a greater relative increase in the women's mean consumption. The fact that gender convergence was found only for Finland could be due not only to the longer observation period, but also to the egalitarian position of women and the changing drinking culture of the country.
