This paper reports survey data on drinking in different social settings and the acculturation of Hispanics to U.S. society. Respondents comprise a household probability sample of U.S. Hispanics. The acculturation scale resulted from the factor analysis of respondents' answer to questions on daily use and ability to speak, read and write English and Spanish; preference for media (books, radio TV, music) in English or in Spanish; ethnicity of people they interact with in their church, parties and neighborhood now and when growing up, as well as questions about values thought to be characteristic of the Hispanic way of life. Seven different social settings are considered: when having an evening meal at a restaurant; when having lunch at a restaurant; when attending clubs or organizational meetings; in bars, taverns or cocktail lounges; at parties; during evenings at home; and when friends are visiting. Analysis of these data confirm the hypothesis that Hispanics who are more acculturated go more frequently and drink more frequently than less acculturated Hispanics in a number of social settings. The effect of acculturation is independent of income and work status.
本文报告了关于在不同社交场合饮酒以及西班牙裔融入美国社会情况的调查数据。受访者是美国西班牙裔家庭概率样本。文化适应量表源自对受访者关于日常使用、英语和西班牙语的说读写能力、对英语或西班牙语媒体（书籍、广播、电视、音乐）的偏好、他们现在及成长过程中在教堂、派对和邻里交往的人的种族，以及有关被认为是西班牙裔生活方式特征的价值观问题的回答进行的因素分析。研究考虑了七种不同的社交场合：在餐馆吃晚餐时；在餐馆吃午餐时；参加俱乐部或组织会议时；在酒吧、酒馆或鸡尾酒会场所；在派对上；晚上在家时；以及朋友来访时。对这些数据的分析证实了这样一个假设：在一些社交场合中，文化适应程度较高的西班牙裔比文化适应程度较低的西班牙裔更频繁地外出且饮酒更频繁。文化适应的影响与收入和工作状况无关。
