    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Alcohol consumption patterns vary across demographic groups.
    • Understanding gender-specific drinking behaviors is crucial for public health initiatives.
    • Previous research indicates differences in alcohol use between men and women.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine alcohol consumption and heavy drinking rates among men and women in professional roles.
    • To identify demographic factors associated with heavy alcohol use in this population.
    • To assess the prevalence of denial regarding heavy alcohol consumption.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among men and women in management and professional positions.
    • Data collected included alcohol consumption habits and demographic information.
    • Statistical analysis was performed to compare drinking rates and identify significant factors.

    Main Results:

    • A higher proportion of women in the sample were identified as drinkers compared to previous surveys.
    • Heavy drinking rates did not proportionally differ between men and women.
    • Single, divorced, or separated women reported higher rates of heavy drinking than married women.
    • Denial of heavy alcohol consumption was observed in both male and female heavy drinkers.

    Conclusions:

    • While more women in professional roles consume alcohol, heavy drinking prevalence is comparable to men.
    • Marital status is a significant factor influencing heavy drinking rates among women.
    • Alcohol consumption denial is present in heavy drinkers of both genders, highlighting potential challenges in intervention efforts.
