The purpose of this study was to define the alcohol consumption norms and attitudes toward alcohol regulation policies among citizens of Seoul and the relationships between such norms and the favored regulatory policies. The study population consisted of 1001 adults aged 19-80 years living in Seoul. We collected demographic data and data on health behaviors, attitudes towards drinking, and preferred alcohol regulation policies. The correlations between drinking and the favored regulatory policies were analyzed. Male, as well as being employed, aged 19-39 years, single, a smoker, and a current or heavy episodic drinker were associated with more positive attitudes toward drinking (all < 0.001) and less desire for alcohol regulation policies (all < 0.001). We found a significant negative correlation between attitudes toward drinking and preferred alcohol regulation policies ( < 0.001). Participants who favored reduced or no alcohol consumption and a reduction in alcohol-related harm were more accepting of restrictive alcohol consumption policies. To establish alcohol control polices, differences in drinking norms within populations should be considered. Furthermore, for a successful alcohol control policy, efforts should be made to change drinking norms, as well as consider differences in regulatory policy preferences between population groups.
本研究旨在确定首尔市民的饮酒规范和对酒精管制政策的态度，以及这些规范与偏好的管制政策之间的关系。研究对象为居住在首尔的 1001 名 19-80 岁的成年人。我们收集了人口统计学数据、健康行为数据、饮酒态度数据以及偏好的酒精管制政策数据。分析了饮酒与偏好的管制政策之间的相关性。男性、就业、19-39 岁、未婚、吸烟者和目前或重度间歇性饮酒者对饮酒的态度更为积极（均<0.001），对酒精管制政策的需求较低（均<0.001）。我们发现饮酒态度与偏好的酒精管制政策之间存在显著负相关（<0.001）。赞成减少或不饮酒以及减少与酒精相关的伤害的参与者更倾向于接受限制饮酒的政策。为了制定酒精控制政策，应考虑人群中饮酒规范的差异。此外，为了成功实施酒精控制政策，应努力改变饮酒规范，并考虑不同人群群体对监管政策偏好的差异。
