    Solitary drinking is linked to motivations like forgetting personal issues or problems. This study identifies positive skewness as an indicator of deviant drinking and notes heavy beer consumption among young men.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Sociology
    • Addiction Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding the complex relationship between drinking motivations and actual drinking behavior is crucial for public health.
    • Previous research has explored various factors influencing alcohol consumption, but the specific links between solitary drinking and certain motives require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between reasons for drinking and drinking behavior patterns.
    • To identify potential indicators of deviant drinking practices and motives.
    • To explore demographic correlations in alcohol consumption, such as heavy beer consumption patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • Factor-analytic investigation involving 80 subjects (28 women).
    • Analysis of customary drinking behavior and self-reported reasons for drinking.

  • Statistical examination using positive skewness as an index for deviant drinking.

    • Main Results:

    • Solitary drinking significantly correlates with drinking to forget personal shortcomings, problems, and disappointments.
    • Drinking to reduce social concern was also associated with solitary drinking patterns.
    • Positive skewness was validated as a reliable index for identifying deviant drinking practices and motives.
    • Incidental findings revealed that young men exhibit the highest rates of heavy beer consumption.

    Conclusions:

    • The motivations behind solitary drinking are linked to escapism and reduced self-consciousness.
    • Positive skewness serves as a valuable statistical marker for deviant alcohol use.
    • Targeted interventions for young men may be necessary to address heavy beer consumption patterns.
