While studies have shown relationships between adolescent and parental drinking patterns, it is not known if these parental influences are maintained when the children are adults and further removed from early influences. A representative general population sample of 6,364 adults living in New York State were interviewed regarding their current drinking as well as about their family structure and the drinking patterns of their parents while they were growing up. A logit modeling analysis revealed that natural father's drinking while growing up, natural mother's drinking while growing up, family structure (father present or not) and sex of the respondent were all significant predictors of current heavy drinking of adults even while controlling for all of the other variables in the model. It is concluded that early family influences may have long-term consequences on drinking behaviors.
虽然研究表明青少年饮酒模式与父母饮酒模式之间存在关联，但尚不清楚当孩子成年并远离早期影响时，这些来自父母的影响是否依然存在。对居住在纽约州的6364名成年人进行了具有代表性的普通人群抽样调查，询问了他们目前的饮酒情况，以及他们成长过程中的家庭结构和父母的饮酒模式。逻辑回归模型分析显示，即使在控制模型中的所有其他变量时，亲生父亲成长过程中的饮酒情况、亲生母亲成长过程中的饮酒情况、家庭结构（父亲是否健在）以及受访者的性别，都是成年人当前重度饮酒的显著预测因素。研究得出结论，早期家庭影响可能会对饮酒行为产生长期影响。
