“借酒消愁”抑或“饮酒为乐”:居民生活满意度与饮酒行为、醉酒频率

“Drink away Sorrow”or“Drink for Pleasure”:Life Satisfaction and Drinking Behavior of Residents,Frequency of Drunkenness

伴随着中国经济社会的发展,源远流长的饮酒文化与方兴未艾的饮酒消费相互作用。饮酒作为一种存在健康风险的消费行为,面临生活压力的都市居民是“借酒消愁”还是“饮酒为乐”值得辨析。本文使用“上海都市社区调查”(SUNS)2017年住户调查数据,讨论了生活满意度对饮酒行为和醉酒频率的影响及其性别差异。研究结论表明:生活满意度对是否饮酒、醉酒频率有显著的负作用,生活满意度越低,越有可能产生饮酒行为、增加醉酒频率,说明上海居民的饮酒行为更多是“借酒消愁”而非“饮酒为乐”,女性群体“借酒消愁”较男性更为明显;此外,抑郁情绪在生活满意度对醉酒的影响中发挥了中介效应,研究还发现“借酒消愁”效应在工作和家庭两个维度上存在差异,工作满意度与家庭亲密程度在其中起到了调节作用;受教育水平、家庭同住等因素对饮酒行为和醉酒频率也有显著抑制作用。

Along with China's economic and so cial development,the long history of drinking culture interacts with the growing consumption of alcohol.As a type of consumption behavior with health risks,it is worth analyzing whether urban residents facing life pressures“drink to relieve sadness”or“drink for pleasure”Using data from the Shanghai Urban Neighborhood Survey(SUNS)in 2017,this paper discusses the effects of life satisfaction on alcohol use and frequency of drunkenness,as well as gender differences.The study concluded that life satisfaction has a significant negative effect on both the decision to drink alcohol and the frequency of drunkenness.The lower the life satisfaction,the more likely to drink and increase the frequency of drunkenness.This indicates that the drinking behavior of Shanghai residents is more inclined towards“drink to relieve sadness”than“drinking for pleasure”.Females are more likely to use alcohol to relieve sorrow,and depression plays an intermediary role in the effect of life satisfaction on alcohol use.The study also found that the effect of“drink to relieve sadness”differs in the domains of work and family,where job satisfaction and family intimacy play a moderating role.Factors such as education and living together with family also have a significant inhibitory effect on drinking behavior and the frequency of drunkenness.
