Gender differences in alcohol consumption and adverse drinking consequences: cross-cultural patterns

Original language description

To examine the consistency and/or variability of gender differences in drinking behavior crossculturally. Women's and men's responses in 16 general population surveys from 10 countries, analyzed by members of the International Research Group on Gender and Alcohol.

Women and men differed little in the probability ov currently drinking versus abstaining, but men consistently exceeded women in typical drinking frequencies and quantities and in rates of heavy drinking episodes and adverse drinking consequences, while women were cosistently more likelythan men to be life-time abstrainers. In older age groups, both men and women drank smaller quantities of alcohol and were more likely to stop drinking altogether, but drinking frequencies did not change consistently with age.
