Abstract

A general hypothesis is formulated in which alcohol consumption is largely determined by the resources available for drinking, the activities competing for those resources, and the costs associated with drinking in the context of a particular social status. Implications in terms of drinking patterns of occupational subgroups, longitudinal changes in alcohol consumption, and vulnerability to the development of pathological drinking are suggested.
