The relationship between alcohol advertising and drinking has been demonstrated in many studies. Most studies were conducted on adolescents or young adults. Thailand has strict regulations on alcohol advertisements. This study aimed to examine associations between exposure to alcohol advertisements and drinking behaviors, i.e., past-year drinking and past-year heavy drinking, using data from a population-based survey in Thailand. The survey participants were Thai citizens aged 15 or older. Logistic regression was used to investigate the associations. The primary explanatory variable was self-reported exposure to alcohol advertisements. Covariates in the regression models included sex, age, and education. Self-reported exposure to alcohol advertisements was associated with past-year drinking (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.07-1.27), past-year heavy drinking (OR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.28-1.41), and past-year heavy drinking among drinkers (OR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.43-1.60). Male sex, working age, and secondary education or a diploma were associated with higher odds of past-year drinking and past-year heavy drinking. In this study, self-reported exposure to alcohol advertisements was shown to be associated with past-year drinking and past-year heavy drinking among a population aged 15 years or older.
许多研究已经证实了酒精广告与饮酒之间的关系。大多数研究是针对青少年或年轻人进行的。泰国对酒精广告有严格的规定。本研究旨在利用泰国一项基于人群的调查数据，检验接触酒精广告与饮酒行为之间的关联，即过去一年的饮酒情况和过去一年的重度饮酒情况。调查参与者为15岁及以上的泰国公民。采用逻辑回归分析来研究这些关联。主要解释变量是自我报告的接触酒精广告情况。回归模型中的协变量包括性别、年龄和教育程度。自我报告的接触酒精广告情况与过去一年的饮酒（比值比[OR]，1.16；95%置信区间[CI]，1.07 - 1.27）、过去一年的重度饮酒（OR，1.35；95% CI，1.28 - 1.41）以及饮酒者中过去一年的重度饮酒（OR，1.51；95% CI，1.43 - 1.60）相关。男性、工作年龄以及中等教育或文凭与过去一年饮酒和过去一年重度饮酒的较高几率相关。在本研究中，自我报告的接触酒精广告情况显示与15岁及以上人群过去一年的饮酒和过去一年的重度饮酒相关。
