Marriage: Does It Protect Young Women from Alcoholism? Journal of Substance Abuse 5,1 (1993): 1-14.

The literature is replete with conflicting articles about the relationship of marital status and drinking in women. This study is an analysis of the drinking practices of women, 24 through 32 years old, who were respondents in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). Variations in drinking patterns for the years 1982 through 1988 as a function of changes in marital status are detailed. Findings indicated that women who married or remarried decreased drinking, whereas those who became separated or divorced increased drinking. In the present study, women with alcoholic spouses exhibited similar changes in drinking as did other young women. Our conclusion was that the instability created by a change in social position, namely marital status, led to changes in drinking patterns during the study interval in the direction of those associated with the new social position. |

The Long- and Short-Term Effects of Marriage on Drinking Journal of Substance Abuse 6,2 (1994): 209-217. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0899328994902291 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Economics Department, Moore School of Business, University of Soutn Carolina Keyword(s): Alcohol Use; Divorce; Epidemiology; Family History; Gender Differences; Marital Status; Marriage; Minority Groups; Rehabilitation Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Data from the 11-year National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience of Youth are used to examine both short- and long-term effects of marital status on alcohol consumption and to assess the relationship between gender and heavy drinking patterns on the marital-alcohol consumption relationship. Race, gender, history of heavy drinking, and alcoholic relatives were additional key variables utilized in the analysis. Multiple regression analysis indicates that long-term marriage was associated with decreased drinking, except among women with a history of heavy drinking. Separation and divorce were not associated with long-term effects on current drinking, but divorce was associated with decreased drinking, at least in the short term, for men and women with a family history of alcoholism. |
