The extent to which we learn to successfully cope with these stresses often determines how mentally healthy we are

Do Traditional Western European Drinking Practices Have Origins in Antiquity?

DOI/link to publishers version not available.To explore the question of the etiology of western European drinking cultures, some tentative hypotheses will be offered. It is hoped that these speculations will generate discussion and a more thorough examination of the inception of drinking attitudes, practices and norms in many cultures. Although a many faceted hypothesis is presented, there is space in this paper only for a focus on one aspect, namely the reasons why different patterns formed in the first place. Questions concerning the process of Romanization and the Germanic influences of the early Middle Ages upon drinking patterns will have to wait for another time. In short, this paper is a tour through some questions, and extremely tentative hints of some answers. Because this paper is a social-science comment synthesizing material from many fields of study, both primary and secondary published sources are used

ALL QUESTIONNAIRES developed by Engs are found in the repository at: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/17141/browse?type=dateissuedThe PURPOSE of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to test the hypothesis that demographic variables are less important now than in the past in relationship to drinking behaviours among collegians in the United States. Also the purpose was to test Reduction of Consumption Theory by comparing students from the same or equivalent colleges and universities over five time periods beginning in 1982 from data collected in a long term study of college student drinking patterns and problems by the presenter (R. Engs) and David J. Hanson. METHODS: the Student Alcohol Questionnaire was administered to over 12,000 university students from every state during the 1993-1994 academic year. The SAQ had been administered to the same universities since 1982. The sample size was 10,247 in 1993 1994; 6,751 in 1990 1991; 6,872 in 1987 1988; 4,719 in 1984 1985; and 5,504 in 1982 1983. RESULTS: Among drinkers a significantly higher proportion of men, whites, under 21 year olds, Roman Catholics, individuals to whom religion was not important, those with low grade point averages, fraternity/sorority members, living in small communities, the North Eastern part of the United States, at private schools and colleges under 10,000 exhibited heavier drinking and a higher incidence of problems related to drinking. When the samples for the five time periods were assessed, the results showed a significant (p< .001) increase in the percent of abstainers (17.7 to 26.8) and a decrease in the mean number of drinks consumed per week among all students (14.3 to 13.1). There was a significant decrease in the percent of students who exhibited four drinking and driving related variables. On the other hand, a significant increase of most health/personal, social/academic, and legal/violent problems related to alcohol was found. In CONCLUSION the results do not support the hypothesis that few differences in drinking patterns would be found within traditional demographic variables due to societal changes. Likewise reduction, or control, of consumption theory was supported only for a decrease in drinking and driving variables and the mean amount of alcohol consumed

ALL QUESTIONNAIRES developed by Engs are found in the repository at: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/17141/browse?type=dateissuedThe knowledge of alcohol and drinking patterns and among thirteen of the 62 schools in the 50 + 12 Project, an alcohol education initiative of NIAAA, is discussed. A major purpose of this descriptive study was to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure college students knowledge of alcohol, their drinking patterns, and problems related to their drinking. To this end the Student Alcohol Questionnaire was developed. Both the drinking patterns and knowledge sub-scales and the total instrument were found to be highly reliable (r=.79 ). The result of the survey revealed that males and whites had higher alcohol knowledge scores than females and blacks respectively. Significantly more seniors had scores above 26 compared to underclassmen. The results revealed that 79% of student drink at least once a year and approximately 20% were heavy or at risk drinkers consuming 6 or more drinks at any one sitting. Over half the sample reported they had experienced “hangovers” and “driven a car after drinking” during the past year. Whites and males were significantly more likely to consume alcohol and to be heavy at risk drinkers compared to blacks and females. There was no significant different due to class year

ALL QUESTIONNAIRES developed by Engs are found in the repository at: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/17141/browse?type=dateissuedPURPOSE: the purpose of this study was to determine if there had been a change over a decade in problems related to drinking. METHODS: The Student Alcohol Questionnaire was used with a quota sample of university students over four time periods. The instrument has a reliability coefficient of .79. and includes 17 problems related to alcohol use and abuse. Female nursing students were select out of the total sample for the four time periods resulting in a sample of 607. RESULTS: Among this sample of female nursing students, who consumed alcohol at least once during the previous 12 months, there was a significant increase in 5 of the 17 problems related to drinking. Over a third of the students had missed a class because of a hangover. Over 10% had been in trouble with the law because of drinking and about 4% had gotten into trouble with school administration, gotten into a fight after drinking too much, or were arrested for driving while intoxicated. There was no change in the percent of heavy or "binge" drinkers.CONCLUSIONS: other than five problems there appears to be few changes regarding drinking. However, three of the problems could potentially affect school, clinical performance or obtaining a license. Alcohol education for student nurses needs to be implemented as part of the curriculum

ALL QUESTIONNAIRES developed by Engs are found in the repository at: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/handle/2022/17141/browse?type=dateissuedThe PURPOSE of this study was to determine if there had been changes in drinking patterns and problems related to alcohol over time in relationship to demographic variables which have been shown to have an association with alcohol use and abuse. METHODS: A survey of 6115 college students from every contiguous state was conducted during the 1982-3 academic year. A sub-sample of the same, or equivalent colleges, found in Engs’ 1974 study was compared. For the study the 1981 version of the Student Alcohol Questionnaire was used. The RESULTS revealed that virtually the same percentage of students drinking (79.4% and 78.6%) and a significant (p < .05) increase in heavy drinking (11.6% and 16.9%) was found. Compared to the 1974 sample, a significant increase in problems related to drinking of such as “hangovers," "drinking while driving," and "missing class because of hangovers" was found (p < .05). There was no significant increase among men, blacks (of either sex), or class levels in consuming alcohol at least once a year, heavy drinking (consuming 6 or more drinks at any one sitting) or problems related to drinking between the two time periods. However, there was a significant increase among women, and in particular white women, for heavy drinking and problems related to drinking. It is RECOMMENDED that more educational efforts be aimed at women concerning alcohol
