背景虽然美国国家消防局关注的是消防员之间的酒精使用，很少有研究已经进行的topic.Aims调查职业和志愿firefighters.Methods数据之间的酒精使用模式从一个基于人口的队列研究的男性消防员进行随机选择的职业和志愿部门。结果2008 - 2010年共调查11个科室的656名志愿者和13个职业科室的656名志愿者，有效应答率为97%。职业消防员每月大约有10天喝酒（大约是他们下班时间的一半），而且在那些日子里喝得相对较多。58%的职业消防员和40%的志愿消防员平均喝了三杯或更多的酒，同样比例的人在喝酒的日子里酗酒。一般来说，喝酒但不酗酒的消防员往往有最好的健康结果，而那些酗酒的消防员通常有最高的负面健康结果风险。百分之九的职业和10%的志愿消防员喝自我报告的驾驶，而陶醉在过去的30 days.Conclusions鉴于高利率的重型和狂饮，地方和国家协调努力，以增加消防员之间的饮酒行为的监测和有针对性的预防干预措施的发展是至关重要的。
Background Although the US National Fire Service is concerned about alcohol use among firefighters, little research has been conducted on the topic.Aims To survey alcohol use patterns among career and volunteer firefighters.Methods Data were from a population-based cohort study of male firefighters conducted in randomly selected career and volunteer departments. Data were collected from 2008 to 2010.Results There were 656 participants from 11 career and volunteer 13 departments included in the study with a response rate of 97%. Career firefighters drank approximately 10 days per month (just about half of their off duty days) and drank relatively heavily on those days. Fifty-eight per cent of career and 40% of volunteer firefighters averaged three or more drinks and similar percentages reported binge drinking on the days they consumed alcohol. In general, firefighters who drank but did not binge drink tended to have the best health outcomes, while those who binge drank typically were at highest risk of negative health outcomes. Nine per cent of career and 10% of volunteer firefighters who drank self-reported driving while intoxicated in the previous 30 days.Conclusions Given the high rates of heavy and binge drinking, local and nationally coordinated efforts to increase the surveillance of drinking behaviour among firefighters and the development of targeted prevention interventions are critically needed.
