Hva p?virker krangling og sl?ssing i drikkesituasjoner? En sammenlignende studie av Oslos generelle befolkning og kafégjester i Oslo

摘要

sAMMENDRAGForm?let med denne studien er, med utgangspunkt i to ulike materialer, ? beskrive negative konsekvenser av egetalkoholbruk. Hva predikerer at urbane mennesker angrer p? noe de har sagt eller gjort, kommer opp i krangel ellerhavner i sl?sskamp under alkoholp?virkning, og er det forskjeller i s? henseende mellom de som er mye og liteeksponert for andre mennesker n?r de drikker? I det s?kalte kafégjestmaterialet ble data innhentet ved hjelp avsp?rreskjemaer besvart av 1053 gjester p? 41 offentlige skjenkesteder i Oslo. I tillegg er det benyttet data fra etrepresentativt utvalg av 297 personer i Oslo (Osloutvalget). Resultatene viste at andelen som rapporterte negativeerfaringer i samband med eget alkoholbruk var h?yere i kafégjestmaterialet enn i Osloutvalget. I beggematerialene rapporterte yngre respondenter oftere enn eldre at de hadde angret p? noe de hadde sagt eller gjort,kranglet med noen og kommet opp i slagsm?l. ? angre p? noe sagt eller gjort hadde ingen sammenheng medantallet timer tilbrakt ukentlig p? kaféer i materialene. Blant kafégjestene, men ikke blant Oslofolk generelt, haddeantall timer tilbrakt ukentlig p? kaféer sammenheng med ? ha kranglet og ? ha sl?ss med noen i en drikkesituasjon.? havne i sl?sskamp eller h?ndgripeligheter hadde sammenheng med antallet timer tilbrakt ukentlig p? kaféer ibegge materialene. Korrelasjonen mellom antall dager med hardere drikkeepisoder p? kafé, og antall timerukentlig p? kafé, var sterk b?de i Osloutvalget og i kafégjestmaterialet. Det er sannsynlig at det er harderedrikking p? utesteder som er avgj?rende for ? krangle eller sl?ss med noen i beruset tilstand, og ikke det ?tilbringe tid p? utesteder per se. Dette tyder p? at st?rre offentlig innsats for ? kontrollere at de bestemmelsenesom gjelder for offentlig skjenking av alkohol overholdes, kan redusere voldsniv?et p? skjenkestedene.Tr?en B.?What influences quarrelling and fighting in drinking situations? A comparative study of thegeneral population in Oslo and caféguests in Oslo.?Nor J Epidemiol 1996; 6 (1): 61-68.ENGLISH SUMMARYThe aim of this study is to describe self reported negative consequences of alcohol consumption during the past 12months in two different samples of urban Norwegians. Which variables predict having regretted something said ordone, having quarrelled and/or fought with someone under the influence of alcohol among urban people, and arethere differences in this respect between persons who are little and much exposed to others in their drinkingsituations? In 1991 a comprehensive questionnaire survey was undertaken among visitors to 41 licensed premisesin Oslo. A total of 1053 guests to the different premises filled in and returned the questionnaire (the caféguestsample). Data from a representative sample of 297 adult persons from Oslo were available for comparison (theOslo sample). The results showed that the percentage of respondent who reported having experienced negativeconsequences in connection with their own drinking, was higher in the caféguest sample than in the Oslo sample.In both samples, younger respondents reported negative consequences more often than older respondents. Therewas no relationship between number of hours spent weekly in licensed premises and having regretted somethingsaid or done under the influence of alcohol in either sample. In the caféguest sample, but not in the Oslo sample,the number of hours spent weekly in licensed premises was related to having quarrelled with someone in adrinking situation. There was a relationship between number of hours spent weekly in licensed premises andhaving fought with someone under the influence of alcohol in both samples. The correlation between number ofdays during the past month with more "heavy" drinking in public drinking places, and number of hours spentweekly in licensed premises, was strong in both samples. Therefore, it seems likely that it is "heavy" drinking inpublic drinking places that is of importance for experiencing negative consequences of drinking, and not spendingtime in licensed premises per se.
