This study examined the relationship of volume of alcohol consumed to the occurrence of alcohol-related problems among male and female college students to develop a gender-specific measure of heavy episodic or binge drinking by college students for public health research. A self-administered survey was mailed to a national representative sample of students at 140 4-year colleges in 40 states and the District of Columbia. A total of 17,592 college students completed the survey. Women who typically drink four drinks in a row were found to have roughly the same likelihood of experiencing drinking-related problems as men who typically drink five drinks in a row. Use of the same standard for both sexes underestimates binge drinking and the negative health risks for women.
本研究调查了男女大学生饮酒量与酒精相关问题发生情况之间的关系，以便为公共卫生研究制定一种针对大学生的特定性别严重偶发性或暴饮饮酒的衡量标准。一份自填式调查问卷被邮寄给来自40个州和哥伦比亚特区140所四年制大学的具有全国代表性的学生样本。共有17592名大学生完成了该调查。结果发现，通常连续喝四杯酒的女性与通常连续喝五杯酒的男性出现与饮酒相关问题的可能性大致相同。对男女采用相同标准会低估女性的暴饮饮酒情况及其负面健康风险。
