The present study advances research on union status and health by providing a first look at alcohol use differentials among different-sex and same-sex married and cohabiting individuals using nationally representative population-based data (National Health Interview Surveys 1997-2011, N = 181,581). The results showed that both same-sex and different-sex married groups reported lower alcohol use than both same-sex and different-sex cohabiting groups. The results further revealed that same-sex and different-sex married individuals reported similar levels of alcohol use, whereas same-sex and different-sex cohabiting individuals reported similar levels of alcohol use. Drawing on marital advantage and minority stress approaches, the findings suggest that it is cohabitation status-not same-sex status-that is associated with elevated alcohol rates.
本研究通过利用具有全国代表性的基于人群的数据（1997 - 2011年国家健康访谈调查，N = 181,581），首次审视不同性别和同性已婚及同居个体之间的酒精使用差异，推进了关于婚姻状况与健康的研究。结果显示，同性和异性已婚群体报告的酒精使用量均低于同性和异性同居群体。结果还进一步表明，同性和异性已婚个体报告的酒精使用水平相似，而同性和异性同居个体报告的酒精使用水平也相似。基于婚姻优势和少数群体压力理论，研究结果表明，与较高酒精使用率相关的是同居状况而非同性身份。
