Alcohol consumption is traditionally part of most human cultures, and with the onset of industrial revolution it was recognized as a health and social problem. The aim of this article is to investigate cumulative incidence of alcohol consumption in Croatia. Data were obtained from the Croatian Adult health Survey in 2003 followed by 2008. The cohort consisted of 3229 participants. Questions regarding alcohol consumption were calculated into two factors describing existence or non-existence of risk behavior. Results revealed higher incidence of risk alcohol consumption in man than in women and highest in the 35-65, age group. Due to the some study limitations results might be underestimated. Present problem of alcohol is alarming, even more so, in women's population it might be only the tip of the iceberg. Cultural and regional differences should be taken into account when educational programs are constructed, especially due to the different type of alcohol consumed.
饮酒传统上是大多数人类文化的一部分，随着工业革命的到来，它被视为一个健康和社会问题。本文的目的是调查克罗地亚饮酒的累积发病率。数据来自2003年和2008年的克罗地亚成人健康调查。该队列由3229名参与者组成。关于饮酒的问题被计算为描述风险行为存在与否的两个因素。结果显示，男性中危险饮酒的发病率高于女性，在35 - 65岁年龄组中最高。由于一些研究局限性，结果可能被低估。目前的酒精问题令人担忧，更甚的是，在女性人群中这可能只是冰山一角。在制定教育计划时应考虑文化和地区差异，尤其是由于饮用的酒精类型不同。
