Dimensions of Problem Drinking among Young Adult Restaurant WorkersThe American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Volume 35, Issue 5 September 2009 , pages 329 - 333
Nationwide surveys identify food service workers as heavy alcohol users. Objectives: This article analyzes dimensions and correlates of problem drinking among young adult food service workers.
Hazardous alcohol consumption patterns were seen in 80% of men and 64% of women. Multivariate analysis showed that different dimensions of problem drinking measured by the AUDIT were associated with workers' demographic characteristics, smoking behaviour, and job category.
These findings offer evidence of extremely high rates of alcohol misuse among young adult restaurant workers
