Abstract

Background

This paper aimed to explore the differences in subjective experiences of intoxication depending on drinking location and drink type. Methods: Data came from 32,194 respondents to The Global Drug Survey (GDS) 2015, an annual, cross-sectional, online survey. Respondents selected their usual drinking location (home alone: home with partner/family: house parties: pubs/bars or clubs) and usual drink (wine; beer/cider/lager; spirits or alcopops/coolers). They indicated how many drinks they required to reach three stages of intoxication (feeling the effects; an ideal stage of intoxication; and the tipping point) and how frequently they reached each stage. Results: Drink type affected grams of alcohol reported to reach the tipping point: 109 gm wine, 127 gm alcopops, 133 gm of beer, and 134 gm of spirts. Respondents who drank at home alone, or in clubs reached their tipping point more frequently compared to other locations. Conclusions: Where people drink, and the type of alcohol they drink, affected the amount of alcohol reported to reach different stages of intoxication. Understanding why different drinking locations, and drink types lead to a need for greater consumption to reach an ideal state of drunkenness, such as social cues from other people who drink, may enable people to reduce their drinking.

饮酒地点和饮酒量与饮酒量有关：对 17 个国家/地区的酒精使用情况的探索性调查

摘要

背景

本文旨在探讨不同饮酒地点和饮酒类型对醉酒主观体验的差异。方法：数据来自 2015 年全球药物调查 (GDS) 的 32,194 名受访者，这是一项年度横断面在线调查。受访者选择了他们通常的饮酒地点（独自在家：与伴侣/家人一起在家：家庭聚会：酒吧/酒吧或俱乐部）和通常的饮料（葡萄酒；啤酒/苹果酒/贮藏啤酒；烈酒或酒精饮料/冷却器）。他们指出了达到三个中毒阶段（感受效果；理想的中毒阶段；以及临界点）所需的酒量，以及达到每个阶段的频率。结果：饮料类型影响达到临界点的酒精克数：109 克葡萄酒、127 克酒精饮料、133 克啤酒和 134 克烈酒。与其他地方相比，独自在家或在俱乐部喝酒的受访者更频繁地达到临界点。结论：人们饮酒的地点和饮酒类型会影响报告达到不同醉酒阶段的酒精量。了解为什么不同的饮酒地点和饮酒类型导致需要更多消费才能达到理想的醉酒状态，例如来自其他饮酒者的社交暗示，可能会使人们减少饮酒。
