Drinking in Young Adulthood

Abstract The paper explores the relationship between various demographic measures, familial relationship quality measures and drinking behaviors among young adult stepchildren using data collected in personal interviews. In particular, it addresses the influence of the young adult stepchild's attachment to the stepparent relative to drinker status (current drinker vs. abstainer), drinking frequency, average drinks per occasion and incidences of heavy drinking (five or more drinks per occasion for males and four or more drinks per occasion for females). The paper reports on a series of analyses, including logistical and Tobit regression models. Results indicate that stepparent relationships are positively related to young adult drinking. Possible explanations for these findings are explored.
