Patterns and correlates of hazardous drinking, defined as occasions in which five or more drinks were consumed in a day, were compared for wine, beer and distilled spirits.
From a probability sample of the U.S. adult household population, 2,817 respondents who had consumed at least one drink in the previous year were selected for analysis.
The results show that, in the U.S., beer accounts for the bulk of alcohol consumed by the heaviest drinkers. Beer also accounts for a disproportionate share of hazardous drinking. Logistic regression analyses revealed that drinkers who consume beer in a hazardous fashion at least monthly are more likely to be young, male and unmarried, and less likely to be black than are other drinkers. Hazardous beer consumption is more predictive of alcohol-related problems than hazardous consumption of wine or spirits.
Three potential explanations for the results are considered: advertising, beer-drinking subcultures and risk compensation. Additional research is urged in order to better specify the causal role of these and other factors in hazardous beer drinking.
比较葡萄酒、啤酒和蒸馏酒的危险饮酒模式及相关因素，危险饮酒定义为一天内饮用五杯或更多酒的情况。
从美国成年家庭人口概率样本中，选取前一年至少饮用过一杯酒的2817名受访者进行分析。
结果显示，在美国，啤酒占重度饮酒者所消费酒精的大部分。啤酒在危险饮酒中所占比例也过高。逻辑回归分析表明，至少每月以危险方式饮用啤酒的饮酒者比其他饮酒者更可能年轻、男性且未婚，而黑人的可能性较小。危险的啤酒消费比葡萄酒或蒸馏酒的危险消费更能预测与酒精相关的问题。
考虑了对结果的三种潜在解释：广告、啤酒饮用亚文化和风险补偿。敦促进行更多研究，以便更好地明确这些及其他因素在危险啤酒饮用中的因果作用。
