Data from a 1984 general population survey of drinking practices and problems in the United States are compared with those from identically worded items in a 1967 survey. Results indicate that beverage preference changed between 1967 and 1984. Americans consumed more wine and beer but fewer distilled spirits in 1984. However, the volume of drinks consumed did not change significantly. There were few significant differences in drinking patterns with the exception of a small increase in the percentage of men who were abstainers in 1984. Mixed findings were obtained with regard to drinking problems. Little difference was found over time in the proportion of respondents experiencing any of nine possible problem consequences, but there was an increase in the proportion who reported experiencing one of four possible dependence problems. Implications of this survey for the single distribution theory of consumption are discussed.
将1984年美国关于饮酒习惯和问题的一般人群调查数据与1967年措辞相同项目的调查数据进行了比较。结果表明，1967年至1984年间饮料偏好发生了变化。1984年美国人饮用了更多的葡萄酒和啤酒，但蒸馏酒的饮用量减少了。然而，饮酒量并没有显著变化。除了1984年戒酒男性的比例略有增加外，饮酒模式几乎没有显著差异。关于饮酒问题得到了混合的结果。在经历九种可能问题后果中的任何一种的受访者比例上，随着时间的推移几乎没有发现差异，但报告经历四种可能依赖问题之一的比例有所增加。讨论了这项调查对单一消费分布理论的影响。
