The Long- and Short-Term Effects of Marriage on Drinking Journal of Substance Abuse 6,2 (1994): 209-217.

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. |
