Relationships among reasons for drinking, alcohol consumption, and drinking-related problems were assessed among secondary-school students (N=328) and university students (N=74) in North Wales, United Kingdom, and results were compared with results from North America. The ability of drinking reasons to predict drinking problems was tested in both age groups. Khavari Alcohol Test, Quantity-Frequency-Variability Index, Reasons for Drinking Questionnaire, and Rutgers Alcohol Problems Index were used to measure the variables of interest. Regression and mediational analyses indicated that negative reasons were stronger predictors of drinking problems than were positive reasons among both secondary-school and university students. Results also showed that the effect of both positive and negative drinking reasons on alcohol-related problems was partially mediated by alcohol consumption among both secondary-school students and university students. There were different correlates of problematic drinking among younger and older students, which suggest that different types of intervention should be used with the two age groups.
在英国北威尔士的中学生（N = 328）和大学生（N = 74）中评估了饮酒原因、酒精摄入量与饮酒相关问题之间的关系，并将结果与北美地区的结果进行了比较。在两个年龄组中都测试了饮酒原因预测饮酒问题的能力。使用哈瓦里酒精测试、数量-频率-变异性指数、饮酒原因问卷和罗格斯酒精问题指数来测量相关变量。回归分析和中介分析表明，在中学生和大学生中，消极饮酒原因比积极饮酒原因更能有力地预测饮酒问题。结果还表明，积极和消极饮酒原因对酒精相关问题的影响在中学生和大学生中都部分地通过酒精摄入量来介导。年轻学生和年长学生中存在不同的问题饮酒相关因素，这表明应该对这两个年龄组采用不同类型的干预措施。
