“…For example, in 1994 Fleming [22] undertook a large population-based survey of nearly 4000 women. Over a third of these women were drinking at hazardous levels, with the highest rates of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related problems found in women under 25 years of age.…”

Women's alcohol consumption: emerging patterns, problems and public health implications

There is growing awareness of changes in the levels and patterns of women's use of alcohol. Australian and international data suggest that patterns of consumption among younger women are beginning to echo that of their male counterparts. Similarly, alcohol consumption among older women is also increasing in some developed countries. This paper provides an overview of available data sources that address changing patterns of consumption among women in Australia, and explanatory models which may account for these changes are discussed. Particular attention is directed to drinking among younger women and indigenous women. External social factors are explored, including the erosion of traditional values associated with women's consumption of alcohol. Finally, the paper examines the evidence for a long speculated 'convergence' of female and male alcohol consumption and assesses the public health implications of the emerging patterns of alcohol consumption by women. The inconsistent findings regarding brief interventions when applied to women, compared to men, are also highlighted in terms of appropriate future public health strategies.

“…In contrast, gender was thought to directly influence heavy drinking but not frequency of drinking. Recent studies show that among young people in Australia, females may drink just as often as males [26,27]. However, young males continue to consume alcohol at risky levels more frequently than do females [23].…”

The first part of this research assessed the longitudinal relationships between alcohol-related associative strength and alcohol use measured at two time-points, 6 months apart. Cross-lagged results support the utility of alcohol-related associative strength to predict drinking behaviours prospectively and vice versa. These results remained after competing explanations of previous use, autocorrelations between memory measures, sensation seeking and background variables of age and gender were accounted for. Findings offer further evidence for an implicit cognitions approach to drinking processes. In the second part of our study, cross-sectional analysis investigated potential mediating mechanisms in the relation of associative strength to quantity and frequency dimensions of drinking. Mediational models provide preliminary evidence that implicit memory processes may have differential effects on quantity and frequency dimensions of drinking behaviours. The results point to the possibility that increasing awareness of implicit alcohol-related associations may have utility in interventions for young adults.
