American Indian drinking behavior is often attributed to stress. The causal relationship of stress to Indian drinking and alcohol's role as a stressor is explored. It is likely that some drinking behavior is a response to psychosocial stressors, and that rapid ingestion or large quantity alcohol consumption may also precipitate the psychogenic stress response, thereby exacerbating stress in the individual. Using alcohol to reduce stress increases opportunities for injury and illness.
美国印第安人的饮酒行为常常被归因于压力。本文探讨了压力与印第安人饮酒之间的因果关系，以及酒精作为压力源所起的作用。一些饮酒行为很可能是对心理社会压力源的一种反应，而且快速摄入或大量饮酒也可能引发心理性应激反应，从而加剧个体的压力。通过饮酒来减轻压力会增加受伤和患病的几率。
