Controlled investigations of alcohol consumption in victims of assault are lacking. A prospective survey was performed to compare victims' drinking habits with age and sex matched U.K. populations. All 539 adult victims of assault who attended an inner-city Accident and Emergency (A and E) Department in 1986 were interviewed. Seventy-four per cent of male victims and 42% of female victims reported alcohol consumption in the 6 hours prior to assault: 30% of males and 4% of females had consumed greater than 10 units. Forty per cent males and 25% of females exceeded established safe-levels of consumption while 16% of males and 26% of females demonstrated abnormally high gamma-GT levels. Mean expenditure on alcohol by assault victims was 14% of net income, compared to 7.5% by the U.K. adult population overall. Results suggested that young male victims of assault may not be distinguishable from other young males on the basis of habitual or binge alcohol consumption. Assault victims over 25 years of age drank excessively compared to control populations and should be a priority group for alcohol education programmes.
目前尚缺乏针对袭击受害者饮酒情况的对照研究。我们进行了一项前瞻性调查，以比较受害者与年龄及性别相匹配的英国人群的饮酒习惯。对1986年前往市中心意外事故与急诊部就诊的539名成年袭击受害者进行了访谈。74%的男性受害者和42%的女性受害者报告在袭击前6小时内饮酒：30%的男性和4%的女性饮酒量超过10单位。40%的男性和25%的女性饮酒量超过既定的安全水平，而16%的男性和26%的女性γ-谷氨酰转移酶水平异常高。袭击受害者的酒精平均支出占净收入的14%，而英国成年人群体总体平均支出占7.5%。结果表明，年轻男性袭击受害者在习惯性或暴饮酒精方面可能与其他年轻男性并无差异。25岁以上的袭击受害者与对照组人群相比饮酒过量，应成为酒精教育项目的重点对象。
