Abstract: Objective To examine the drinking patterns and associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and adolescents'alcohol use among Guangzhou senior high school students. Methods Using a self-administered questionnaire,a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 3 282 senior high school students from 20 schools between May and June 2013. Results The prevalence of lifetime drinking was 75.61%,60.22% of the participants were past-year drinkers,while 22.75% of them had consumed alcohol in the past 30 days.During the past 30 days,7.17% of the adolescents reported that they drank at least 6 drinks on one occasion,and 27.67% of the students had drunk until intoxication in the past year.Overall,the prevalence of the five above drinking behaviors of boys were higher than those of girls.Multiple regression analyses were used to investigate the independent effect of SES indicators on binge drink and drunkenness.For the students from more affluent families or with low academic grade,the adjusted odds of binge drink and drink until intoxication were significantly higher,compared with those who from less affluent families or with high academic grade. Conclusion Due to the high prevalence of the alcohol consumption among senior high school students in Guangzhou,it is important to have early education and intervention in order to reduce alcohol availability and drinking among adolescents.
