Abstract

Alcohol is a psychoactive substance with dependence-producing properties and whose harmful use causes a large burden disease, social and economic burden in societies. Binge drinking is one of the commonest forms of alcohol misuse and has been on an increase among many young women who find alcohol a source of pleasure and enjoyment when they have time out with friends and peers. Since binge drinking involves consumption of alcohol on an irregular basis, it may not be viewed as a hazardous form of alcohol use by many drinkers. The present study aimed at estimating the proportion of female binge drinkers in a population of female social drinkers in Kalingalinga township of Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia. We hypothesized that the proportion of binge drinking in a population of female social drinkers is significantly high.
赞比亚卢萨卡Kalingalinga地区女性社交饮酒者中酗酒比例的初步研究
酒精是一种精神活性物质,具有产生依赖性的特性,其有害使用在社会中造成巨大的疾病负担、社会和经济负担。酗酒是最常见的酒精滥用形式之一,在许多年轻女性中越来越多,她们在与朋友和同龄人外出时将酒精视为快乐和享受的源泉。由于狂饮包括不规律地饮酒,许多饮酒者可能不会将其视为一种有害的饮酒方式。本研究旨在估计赞比亚首都卢萨卡Kalingalinga镇女性社交饮酒者中女性酗酒者的比例。我们假设在女性社交饮酒者中酗酒的比例非常高。
