Street drug use, and alcohol abuse among young adults from a high social class range were studied in the posh seaside resort of Punta del Este (Uruguay) during the (austral) summer vacation (February 1993). In this connection, an anthropological methodology was applied: Four young people were trained in systematic record and observation technics abilities. Results suggest two clearly defined social-cultural patterns with regard to both cannabis, and cocaine use. Both patterns take place within a social environment agreeable to drug use as well as strongly connected with social interaction ways peculiar to high-class youth.
1993年2月(南半球的)暑假期间,在乌拉圭埃斯特角城这个豪华的海滨度假胜地,对来自高社会阶层的年轻人中的街头毒品使用和酗酒情况进行了研究。在这方面,采用了一种人类学方法:对四名年轻人进行了系统记录和观察技术能力方面的培训。结果表明,在大麻和可卡因使用方面存在两种明确界定的社会文化模式。这两种模式都发生在一个有利于吸毒的社会环境中,并且与高阶层青年特有的社交互动方式紧密相连。
