Acculturation and Alcohol Consumption among Mexican Americans: A Three-Generation Study.

Markides, Kyriakos S.; And Others

American Journal of Public Health, v78 n9 p1178-81 Sep 1988

Examination of three generations of Mexican Americans reveals that acculturation was not related to alcohol consumption in the older generation; in the middle generation it was related to lower consumption among men and women; in the younger generation it was related to drinking among women but not among men.
