Aim: Alcohol consumption and policy in Finland have undergone a variety of changes in the two last decades. In several cases, trends in both consumption and policy have shifted direction when moving from the first decade of the 21st century to the second one. The aim of the overview is to summarise the trends. Data: The overview draws on results primarily from the cross-sectional Finnish Drinking Habits Survey (FDHS) in 2000, 2008 and 2016, and also from the whole series including altogether seven separate data collections carried out every eight years from 1968 to 2016 and mainly covering Finns aged 15–69 years. Response rates show a falling trend (78% in 2000, 74% in 2008 and 60% in 2016). The overview also makes use of data collected within the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and other Drugs (ESPAD) and, for the elderly, the National FinSote study carried out by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). Results: After an all-time high of 12.7 litres of pure alcohol per capita 15 years and over in 2007, total consumption of alcohol had decreased by 21% by the year 2019. Underage drinking has decreased ever since the millennium shift. Older people’s drinking has continued increasing or levelled out. Along with reduced total consumption, heavy episodic drinking (HED) has also decreased, but the differences between manual and white-collar workers in HED have continued to grow. Drinking alcoholic beverages with meals has also declined since 2008. Liberal and restrictive alcohol policy measures have alternated. Conclusions: Finnish drinking culture seems to change at a slow pace; several typical drinking habits have remained unchanged.

21 世纪芬兰饮酒的变化与延续

目标：在过去的两个十年中，芬兰的酒精消费和政策发生了各种变化。在某些情况下，从 21 世纪第一个十年到第二个十年，消费和政策趋势都发生了变化。概述的目的是总结趋势。数据：概述主要来自 2000 年、2008 年和 2016 年的芬兰饮酒习惯横断面调查 (FDHS) 的结果，以及整个系列的结果，包括从 1968 年到 2016 年每八年进行的总共七次单独的数据收集，主要是涵盖 15-69 岁的芬兰人。回复率呈下降趋势（2000 年为 78%，2008 年为 74%，2016 年为 60%）。该概述还利用了欧洲学校酒精和其他药物调查项目 (ESPAD) 中收集的数据，对于老年人，芬兰健康与福利研究所 (THL) 开展的国家 FinSote 研究。结果：在 2007 年达到 12.7 升人均纯酒精的历史新高后，到 2019 年，酒精总消费量下降了 21%。自千禧年以来，未成年人饮酒量有所下降。老年人的饮酒量持续增加或趋于平稳。随着总消费量的减少，大量饮酒（HED）也有所减少，但HED中体力劳动者和白领之间的差异继续扩大。自 2008 年以来，随餐饮用酒精饮料也有所下降。自由和限制性酒精政策措施交替出现。结论：芬兰的饮酒文化似乎变化缓慢；几个典型的饮酒习惯保持不变。
