ABSTRACT
OBJECTS AND METHODS:
In order to evaluate the relationships between drinking habits and biological and psychosocial characteristics, the authors administrated the questionnaires about drinking patterns and acute physiological and psychological responses after drinking, several psychological scales and ethanol patch test to 94 male medical students in Chosun University.RESULTS:
1) Low consumer group had significantly more severe physiological repondents after drinking in family members than high consumer group(p<.005). 2) Low consumer had significantly more severe acute physiological responses(p<.005) and high consumer group revealed more positive psychological responses after drinking(p<.005). But there was no difference in the degree of negative psychological responses between tow groups. 3) High consumer group had significantly more extroversion tedency(p<.01) and recieved more financial support from family than low consumer group(p<.01). 4) In the results of ethanol patch test. low consumer group showed more positive skin reaction in three test occasions than high consumer grou(p<.005). 5) Also the high consumer group revealed higher scores in factor 1,2,4(alpha=0.005), and 3(alpha=0.01) in comparison of factors of Korean Alcohol Use Inventory. 6) In comparison of drinking habits, low consumer group revealed higher incidence of nearly non-drinkers and sublimatory drinkers. But there were more casulal social drinkers, selcontrolled social drinkers, impusive-binge drinkers, and habitual-excessive drinkers in high consumer group(p<.005). And in drinking patterns, the items of dependence and duration of drinking, daily drinking disposition, preferential beverage, average and maximum drinking amount of each liquor, and magnitude of sips taken were higher in high consumer group. Only one item of interval between sips was longer in low consumer group(p<.005). 7) In comparison of sociodemographic variables, there were more students who were smokers(p<.01), from larger cities and small family(p<.05), and whose parents were well educated(p<.05) but had worse marital realtionship(p<.05) in high consumer group. CONCLUSEION For better explanation of the etiology and characteristics of alcoholism, we investigated the differences in various aspects between low alcohol consumers and high alcohol consumers in college students. The most evident differences lied in the degree of acute physiological reaction and positive rates of ethanol patch test that strongly suggested the relations with the activty of ALDH. Some differences in psychosocial aspects between two groups were noticed but could not appropriately be explained at this time.
