Gender and alcohol consumption: patterns from the multinational GENACIS project
Addiction Volume 104 Issue 9, Pages 1487 - 1500

To evaluate multinational patterns of gender- and age-specific alcohol consumption.

As expected, men still exceed women in drinking and high-volume drinking, although gender ratios vary. Better explanations are needed for why more women than men quit drinking, and why aging does not consistently reduce drinking and heavy drinking outside Europe and English-speaking countries.
