The authors studied the prevalence of heavy drinking among students in 21 developed and developing countries using an anonymous survey of 7,846 male and 9,892 female students aged 17 to 30 years. There were wide variations in the prevalence of drinking among countries, and the highest rates of heavy drinking (defined as 5 or more drinks for men and 4 or more drinks for women on at least 1 occasion over the past 2 weeks) were reported in Belgium, Colombia, Ireland, and Poland (men), and Ireland and England (women). Heavy drinking was associated with living away from home, having a wealthier family background, and having well-educated parents. Beliefs about the dangers to health of excessive consumption were negatively related to heavy drinking. Heavy drinking is a concern among students in several countries and is associated with greater affluence. Challenging beliefs concerning health risks is a crucial aspect of prevention in this population.
作者们通过对7846名年龄在17至30岁的男学生和9892名女学生进行匿名调查，研究了21个发达国家和发展中国家学生中的酗酒流行情况。各国的饮酒流行率差异很大，酗酒率最高（定义为在过去两周内至少有一次男性饮用5杯或更多酒、女性饮用4杯或更多酒）的国家是比利时、哥伦比亚、爱尔兰和波兰（男性），以及爱尔兰和英格兰（女性）。酗酒与离家居住、家庭背景更富裕以及父母受过良好教育有关。对过度饮酒危害健康的看法与酗酒呈负相关。酗酒在几个国家的学生中是一个令人担忧的问题，并且与更富裕的生活相关。挑战有关健康风险的观念是该人群预防工作的一个关键方面。
