The demographic distribution of drinking and heavy drinking in a 1984 survey are presented to provide updated prevalence estimates for these phenomena. Several measures of drinking patterns are used, including: the frequency of drinking, the monthly volume consumed, the frequency of drinking five or more drinks on an occasion, the frequency of drinking eight or more drinks in a day, and the frequency of self-reported drunkenness. In most cases, the present results confirm earlier findings. However, the present data give better information on Black and Hispanic drinking patterns than was available in earlier surveys. Results not consistent with earlier studies are that there are contradictory findings regarding the relationship between socio-economic status and drinking and that the drinking patterns of divorced and separated men diverge from those of divorced and separated women.
本文呈现了1984年一项关于饮酒和酗酒的人口分布调查结果，以提供这些现象的最新患病率估计。文中使用了几种饮酒模式的衡量指标，包括：饮酒频率、每月饮酒量、一次饮用五杯或更多酒的频率、一天饮用八杯或更多酒的频率以及自我报告的醉酒频率。在大多数情况下，当前结果证实了早期研究结果。然而，与早期调查相比，当前数据能提供有关黑人和西班牙裔饮酒模式的更详细信息。与早期研究不一致的结果是，关于社会经济地位与饮酒之间的关系存在相互矛盾的发现，且离婚和分居男性的饮酒模式与离婚和分居女性不同。
