The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between negative life events and chronic stressors and drinking behaviour. Data suggested that some life events (getting divorced) and some chronic stressors (financial difficulties, unfavourable marital status, and unfavourable employment status) were positively related to abstinence among men and women. Furthermore, some life events (being a victim of a crime, decrease in financial position, divorce or reporting two or more life events) were positively associated with heavy drinking among men. Chronic stressors, such as unfavourable marital status and unfavourable employment status, were also related to heavy drinking among both men and women. Results presented here suggest that people under stressful conditions are more likely to either abstain or drink heavily rather than to drink lightly or moderately.

Current information on drug interactions between sunitinib and other drugs is scarce and most of the times it is difficult to apply to clinical practice. Even so, this difficulty in managing drug interactions should not be a reason to ignore them as they can help to explain intolerances and treatment failures.

Stressful circumstances, such as adverse working conditions, were associated with high levels of alcohol intake among drinking men and women.

The objective of this study was to investigate the determinants of abstinence and drinking patterns among 14,367 Greeks. Participants older than 60, single and widowed men, as well as participants living outside the Greater Athens area were significantly more likely to abstain than to be "light to moderate" drinkers. In contrast, those at higher educational levels and those separated or divorced were less likely to abstain than their counterparts. With respect to excessive drinking, older people and those at higher educational levels were less likely to engage excessive drinking than their counterparts. Among men, subjects who were separated or divorced were more likely to drink excessively than those who were married. The results of our study help detect groups at high risk for diseases associated with high or low consumption of alcohol, and outline preventive strategies.
