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，早年饮酒与无意和故意伤害的可能性更大、形成酒精依赖和经常酗酒的可能性更大有关。该项目的目的是调查意大利的饮酒年龄，意大利的环境与美国不同，早期饮酒是常态。在意大利，葡萄酒传统上被视为食物而不是酒精，葡萄酒是最受欢迎的酒精饮料。对意大利青少年和成年人的调查显示，喝啤酒的人和在户外喝酒的人饮酒量较多，包括醉酒的次数。该项目将研究意大利人样本中从小开始饮酒与晚年频繁酗酒或酒精依赖发展之间的关系。
