Analysis of Drinking Behavior and Attitudes by Races,
Abstract
Results of a supplementary study on drinking behavior, attitudes, and experience for the major racial or ethnic groups included in a 1974 servicewide survey of uniformed Naval personnel are reported. Findings of the study indicate that black and white male officers differed little in rates of problem drinking, but that black enlisted men had materially lower rates than white enlisted men. Among enlisted men, however, a number of variables (e.g., age and education) were more closely related to problem drinking than was race. Several other variations are discussed.
