ABSTRACT
In an online-based survey conducted among a representative sample (n = 5000) of the French general population, the category of alcohol use, i.e. no-alcohol use (NAU: 18.5%), low-risk drinking (LRD: 59.4%), hazardous drinking (HD: 14.9%), and alcohol use disorder (AUD: 7.2%) was determined, using the AUDIT questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression models, using LRD as the reference, showed that younger adults were more likely to report NAU, but also HD, and AUD; women were less likely to report HD and AUD, while high occupational status was associated with reduced NAU and increased HD.
