Using data from the 2002 Department of Defense Survey of Health Related Behaviors, we examined levels of drinking and alcohol-related problems (dependence symptoms, driving after drinking, productivity loss, serious consequences) for enlisted men and women and male and female officers. Findings showed that men were more likely than women to be heavy or binge drinkers and to experience alcohol-related problems. Similarly, enlisted men and women were more likely than male and female officers to be heavy or binge drinkers. Driving after drinking was more common among men than women and more common among officers than enlisted personnel. Officers had lower rates of dependence symptoms and other serious consequences than enlisted personnel. Despite men's heavier drinking, women showed equal or higher rates of dependence symptoms and productivity loss and appeared to be at risk for alcohol problems at lower levels of consumption.
利用2002年国防部健康相关行为调查的数据，我们研究了现役男女军人及男女军官的饮酒水平和与酒精相关的问题（依赖症状、酒后驾车、生产力损失、严重后果）。研究结果表明，男性比女性更有可能成为重度饮酒者或暴饮者，并出现与酒精相关的问题。同样，现役男女军人比男女军官更有可能成为重度饮酒者或暴饮者。酒后驾车在男性中比在女性中更常见，在军官中比在现役人员中更常见。军官出现依赖症状和其他严重后果的比率低于现役人员。尽管男性饮酒量更大，但女性出现依赖症状和生产力损失的比率相同或更高，而且在较低饮酒水平时似乎就有酒精问题的风险。
