BARROS, Marilisa Berti de Azevedo et al. Alcohol Drinking Patterns: Social and Demographic Differences in the Municipality of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil, 2003. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2008, vol.17, n.4, pp.259-270. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742008000400003.

The objective of this work is to analyze the demographic and socioeconomic differences in the patterns of alcohol consumption, using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). A household survey with 515 people 14 and older, randomly selected through stratified cluster sampling, was carried out in the Municipality of Campinas, State of São Paulo, Brazil. Prevalence and 95% confidence intervals for the AUDIT questions were calculated considering the sample design. Results showed that 12.4% of the population drinks twice in a week or more, 7.5% drink five or more doses on a typical day, and 3.7% drink six or more doses weekly or daily. Men have a higher drinking pattern. Adults and older people drink with greater frequency but adults and adolescents showed higher risk drinking. The higher schooling strata presents greater drinking frequency while those of lower schooling present higher risk drinking. Differences in patterns of alcohol use must be emphasized in promoting healthier alcohol drinking habits.
