Acculturation and Alcohol Use: Drinking Patterns and Problems among Anglo and Mexican American Male Drinkers.

Neff, James Alan; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v9 n2 p151-81 Jun 1987

Drinking patterns and alcohol-related problems were studied in 164 Anglo and 149 Mexican-American male regular drinkers. A combination of acculturation and generational status measures indicated the heaviest drinking patterns and the highest prevalence of both alcohol-related problems and escape drinking motives among the least acculturated second-generation Mexican Americans.
