Per adult (greater than or equal to 15 years) consumption of beer, wine, spirits, and absolute alcohol for a 17-year period (1968-1984) was related to the attempted suicide morbidity rates in the Perth urban area of Western Australia. For both males and females aged 15-39 years, Mann-Whitney U tests showed that during the years of highest spirits consumption, the highest rates for attempted suicide occurred. A similar finding also applied to 15-39-year-old males for wine. The effect of a rapidly rising blood alcohol level, together with a preselection factor as to the personal characteristics of persons who consumed the higher alcohol content drinks, may explain the results, which need to be confirmed by clinical studies of the type of alcoholic beverage consumed by persons prior to attempting suicide.
在西澳大利亚州珀斯市区，17年期间（1968 - 1984年）成年人（大于或等于15岁）啤酒、葡萄酒、烈酒和纯酒精的消费量与自杀未遂发病率相关。对于15 - 39岁的男性和女性，曼-惠特尼U检验表明，在烈酒消费量最高的年份，自杀未遂率最高。类似的发现也适用于15 - 39岁饮用葡萄酒的男性。血液酒精水平迅速上升的影响，以及饮用酒精含量较高饮料人群个人特征的预选因素，可能解释了这些结果，而这需要通过对自杀未遂者之前饮用的酒精饮料类型进行临床研究来证实。
