abstract="Gender differences in alcohol consumption components, hazardous alcohol consumption, and drinking patterns among Spaniards were analyzed. The study was conducted in the fall of 1992 on 2,500 individuals, aged 14-70 years, who lived in the region of Castile and Leon (Spain). Males drank more frequently (with a high intake of alcohol), were more likely to be hazardous drinkers, and started drinking earlier than females. Both sexes drank beer in a similar way, but not wine and spirits. Males and females gave similar reasons for drinking and showed similar patterns of &quot;family&quot; drinking, although sex differences in other patterns of alcohol consumption were found. The relevance of results was discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
