“…Drinking among males is acceptable in both contexts, while the low proportions of drinkers among foreign-born Mexican American females in the U.S. may reflect socialization in Mexico where there are sanctions against among women consuming alcohol (Alaniz et al, 1999). Studies have also found that women who immigrated to the U.S. in childhood consume more alcohol than women who immigrated to the U.S. as adults (Heilemann et al, 2002) and as Mexican American women acculturate and achieve higher status positions in the work force they use alcohol more and believe there are positive consequences to its use (Gilbert et al, 1994). However, it has also been suggested that although the risk of substance use dependence increases with acculturation among Mexican immigrants, one reason it does not have the same effect among U.S.-born Mexican Americans is because of the small percentage of Mexican-born adults in the U.S. who score low on acculturation (Vega et al, 2003).…”
