In the U.S.A. early age of drinking has been associated with a greater likelihood of unintentional and intentional injury and a greater likelihood of developing alcohol dependence and frequent heavy drinking patterns. The purpose of this project is to examine age of onset of alcohol use in Italy, a context that is normatively different than the U.S.A. and where early drinking is the norm. In Italy wine is traditionally perceived as food rather than alcohol and wine is the most popular alcoholic drink. Surveys of youths and adults in Italy reveal that heavier alcohol consumption, including the number of drunkenness episodes, is found among beer drinkers and those who drink outside their home. This project will examine the relationship between starting to drink at an early age and more frequent heavy drinking in later life or the development of alcohol dependence in a sample of Italians.

在美国，饮酒的年龄与意外和故意伤害的可能性更大，并且有可能发展酒精依赖和频繁繁重的饮酒方式的可能性。该项目的目的是检查意大利饮酒的时代，这种情况与美国早期饮酒是规范上不同的情况。在意大利，葡萄酒在传统上被视为食物而不是酒精，而葡萄酒是最受欢迎的酒精饮料。意大利的年轻人和成年人的调查表明，在啤酒饮用者和家中喝酒的人中发现了较重的饮酒，包括醉酒发作的数量。该项目将研究从小就开始喝酒与以后的饮酒或更频繁的大量饮酒与意大利人样本中的酒精依赖的发展之间的关系。
