Alcohol use increases among adults in response to marital disruption and divorce, but data that are available regarding adolescent alcohol use are inconsistent in the light of whether or not families are intact. To explore this question we obtained measures of frequency and quantity of alcohol use from 2595 junior and senior high school students, together with information about family intactness and parental alcohol use. Adolescents in single and stepparent families reported more alcohol use than adolescents from intact families, for both frequency and quantity of use. This was the case for boys and for girls, as well as for junior high school and for senior high school students. Parents in nonintact families also were reported to be using more alcohol than parents in intact families. Adolescent alcohol use was significantly correlated with parental alcohol use. After adjusting adolescent alcohol use for parental alcohol use as a covariate, the finding of greater alcohol use by adolescents in non-intact families remained.
成年人的酒精使用量会随着婚姻关系破裂和离婚而增加，但就家庭是否完整而言，现有的关于青少年酒精使用的数据并不一致。为了探究这个问题，我们收集了2595名初中生和高中生的酒精使用频率和使用量数据，以及有关家庭完整性和父母酒精使用情况的信息。单亲家庭和继父母家庭中的青少年在饮酒频率和饮酒量方面的报告均高于完整家庭中的青少年。男孩和女孩、初中生和高中生都是如此。据报告，非完整家庭中的父母饮酒量也高于完整家庭中的父母。青少年酒精使用与父母酒精使用显著相关。将父母酒精使用作为协变量对青少年酒精使用进行调整后，非完整家庭中青少年饮酒量更高这一发现仍然存在。
