The relationship between alcohol intake and psychological distress has been overlooked in studies on the working population. Using a multilevel multivariate model, this study reports results obtained from a sample of 8812 workers nested in 387 occupations. Results show that alcohol intake and psychological distress vary significantly at the worker and occupation levels, but they do not show a large variation at the occupation level. Occupational socioeconomic status appears to be a common factor explaining the correlation between alcohol intake and psychological distress at the occupation level. Semi-professionals, middle management, foreman and semiskilled clerical-sales-services occupations are particularly at risk. Gender is related to both outcomes, while work schedule and number of weekly working hours are associated only with psychological distress. Implications and limitations of these results are discussed.
在针对工作人群的研究中，酒精摄入量与心理困扰之间的关系一直被忽视。本研究采用多层次多变量模型，报告了从嵌套于387种职业中的8812名工人样本中获得的结果。结果显示，酒精摄入量和心理困扰在工人和职业层面存在显著差异，但在职业层面的差异不大。职业社会经济地位似乎是解释职业层面酒精摄入量与心理困扰之间相关性的一个共同因素。半专业人员、中层管理人员、工头以及半熟练文书销售服务职业尤其面临风险。性别与这两种结果都有关联，而工作时间表和每周工作小时数仅与心理困扰相关。本文讨论了这些结果的意义和局限性。
