Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop evidence-based recommendations on public drinking restriction in alcohol accessibility policies in order to bring about changes in the alcohol consumption norm.
Methods: Nationwide cross-sectional data collected in 2018 was used. A total of 3,015 subjects (1,546 men and 1,469 women) aged 19 to 60 years were included in this study. Data were analyzed using SPSS, version 25.0. The association between drinking alcohol in public places and its harmful effects was analyzed in monthly drinkers.
Results: About 71.2% of participants (73.6% men and 67.6% women) had drunk alcohol in public places. Unmarried men in their twenties who had full-time jobs were more likely to drink alcohol in public places (leisure facilities or spaces). Individuals who had experience drinking alcohol in public places drank more frequently and consumed a significantly larger quantity of alcohol. Drinking alcohol in public places was associated with higher risks of alcohol-related harm.
Conclusions: The results of this study provide evidence-based data on public drinking restriction to minimize harm due to alcohol consumption.
