In China, approximately 70% of beverage alcohol is consumed in the form of spirits. An estimated 25% of all alcohol consumed is unrecorded, mostly spirits (bai jiu), produced outside regulatory systems in small neighborhood distilleries, mostly in rural areas. Unrecorded bai jiu drinkers are generally older, male, prefer higher-strength bai jiu, and drink daily and mostly at home. To explore possible regional differences, researchers used interview data from 2919 bai jiu drinkers in rural areas in Hebei, Anhui, and Hubei provinces in China. Results confirmed that patterns varied by province. The sample in Hubei preferred unrecorded bai jiu with a more stable preference to alcohol type, tended to drink less frequently, and reported experiencing less drinking pressure, suggesting lower-risk drinking patterns in this region. The Hebei and Anhui sample reported higher frequency and greater amount of alcohol consumption, were more likely to experience drinking pressure, indicating higher-risk patterns in alcohol use in these two regions. The results provide needed details about regional differences in unrecorded bai jiu drinking patterns that are not evident in aggregated data and suggest variations in drinking patterns that may reflect local geography, local values, traditions, and ethnic differences.
在中国，约 70%的饮料酒是以白酒的形式消费的。据估计，所有消费的酒精中有 25%是未记录的，主要是白酒（白酒），在小型社区酿酒厂的监管体系之外生产，主要在农村地区。未记录的白酒饮用者通常年龄较大，男性，更喜欢高浓度的白酒，每天都喝，而且大多在家里喝。为了探索可能存在的地区差异，研究人员使用了来自中国河北省、安徽省和湖北省农村地区 2919 名白酒饮用者的访谈数据。结果证实，各省的模式存在差异。湖北省的样本更喜欢未记录的白酒，对酒精类型的偏好更稳定，饮酒频率较低，报告的饮酒压力较小，表明该地区的饮酒模式风险较低。河北和安徽的样本报告了更高的饮酒频率和更大的饮酒量，更有可能经历饮酒压力，表明这两个地区的饮酒模式风险更高。研究结果提供了关于未记录的白酒饮用模式的地区差异的详细信息，这些差异在汇总数据中并不明显，表明在饮酒模式上存在差异，这可能反映了当地的地理、价值观、传统和民族差异。
