Rates and correlates of alcohol use are reported from the 1993 General Social Survey, a household telephone survey of 10,385 Canadians carried out by Statistics Canada. Continuing a recent trend, alcohol use has declined. The portrait of the Canadian who is most likely to drink and drink heavily is that of a young adult male who is not married, relatively well-off, and rarely or never attends religious services. In a multivariate analysis of the combined impact of sociodemographic factors on drinking and drinking levels, it was found that the frequency of religious attendance and age were the strongest predictors of current drinking. Gender was the strongest predictor of volume of alcohol consumption, while religious attendance, age, marital status and employment status were also significant predictors.
1993年综合社会调查对10385名加拿大人进行了家庭电话调查，报告了酒精使用的比率及其相关因素。加拿大统计局开展的这项调查显示，延续近期趋势，酒精使用呈下降态势。最有可能饮酒且大量饮酒的加拿大人形象是未婚、相对富裕、很少或从不参加宗教活动的年轻成年男性。在对社会人口因素对饮酒及饮酒量的综合影响进行的多变量分析中发现，参加宗教活动的频率和年龄是当前饮酒行为的最强预测因素。性别是酒精消费量的最强预测因素，而参加宗教活动、年龄、婚姻状况和就业状况也是重要的预测因素。
