Recently South Korean society has experienced an increase in alcohol use related problems, as well as alcohol use among women. The purpose of this paper is to describe the cultural context of and to summarize the current state of knowledge of women's drinking in South Korea. Subscribing to Confucian principles, traditional Korean society has allowed drinking for men, but not for women. However, as society has changed, contemporary women drink at a younger age and consume larger amounts of alcohol than their prior generations. The current trends suggest an urgent need for research on the etiology and trajectory of women's alcohol use among various populations and the need to develop intervention programs tailored to the specific needs of women.
最近，韩国社会与酒精使用相关的问题有所增加，女性饮酒的情况也日益增多。本文旨在描述韩国女性饮酒的文化背景，并总结当前关于韩国女性饮酒的知识现状。传统韩国社会遵循儒家原则，允许男性饮酒，但不允许女性饮酒。然而，随着社会的变化，当代女性饮酒的年龄更小，饮酒量也比前几代女性更大。当前的趋势表明，迫切需要对不同人群中女性酒精使用的病因和发展轨迹进行研究，并需要制定针对女性特定需求的干预计划。
