Abstract

BACKGROUND

Binge drinking was responsible for more than half of the estimated 79,000 deaths and two thirds of the estimated 2.3 million years of potential life lost as a result of excessive drinking each year in the United States during 2001-2005.

METHODS

CDC analyzed data from the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) on the prevalence of binge drinking (defined as consuming four or more alcoholic drinks per occasion for women and five or more for men during the past 30 days) among U.S. adults aged ≥18 years who responded to the BRFSS survey by landline or cellular telephone. Data also were analyzed from the 2009 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) on the prevalence of current alcohol use (consuming at least one alcoholic drink during the 30 days before the survey), and binge drinking (consuming five or more alcoholic drinks within a couple of hours during the 30 days before the survey) among U.S. high school students, and on the prevalence of binge drinking among high school students who reported current alcohol use.

RESULTS

Among U.S. adults, the prevalence of reported binge drinking was 15.2% among landline respondents. Binge drinking was more common among men (20.7%), persons aged 18-24 years (25.6%) and 25-34 years (22.5%), whites (16.0%), and persons with annual household incomes of $75,000 or more (19.3%). Among cellular telephone respondents, the overall prevalence of binge drinking (20.6%) was higher than among landline respondents, although the demographic patterns of binge drinking were similar. Prevalence among high school students was 41.8% for current alcohol use, 24.2% for binge drinking, and 60.9% for binge drinking among students who reported current alcohol use.

CONCLUSIONS

Binge drinking is common among U.S. adults, particularly those with higher household incomes, and among high school students. Binge drinking estimates for adults were higher in the cellular telephone sample than in the landline sample. Most youths who reported current alcohol use also reported binge drinking.

IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE

Binge drinking is a serious problem among adults and youths that can be reduced by implementation of evidence-based interventions.

摘要

背景

2001-2005 年期间，在美国，每年因过量饮酒导致的估计 7.9 万人死亡和 230 万预期寿命损失年中，有超过一半归因于狂饮。

方法

CDC 分析了 2009 年行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）的数据，该系统调查了美国≥18 岁成年人中狂饮（定义为女性在过去 30 天内每次饮酒 4 杯或以上，男性每次饮酒 5 杯或以上）的流行率，这些成年人通过座机或手机回复了 BRFSS 调查。还分析了 2009 年全国青少年风险行为调查（YRBS）的数据，该调查调查了美国高中生目前饮酒（在调查前 30 天内至少饮用一次含酒精饮料）和狂饮（在调查前 30 天内的几个小时内饮用 5 杯或更多含酒精饮料）的流行率，以及报告目前饮酒的高中生中狂饮的流行率。

结果

在美国成年人中，座机受访者报告的狂饮率为 15.2%。男性（20.7%）、18-24 岁人群（25.6%）和 25-34 岁人群（22.5%）、白人（16.0%）以及年收入 75000 美元或以上的人群（19.3%）中，狂饮更为常见。在手机受访者中，狂饮的总体流行率（20.6%）高于座机受访者，尽管狂饮的人口统计学模式相似。高中生中目前饮酒的流行率为 41.8%，狂饮的流行率为 24.2%，报告目前饮酒的学生中狂饮的流行率为 60.9%。
