Introduction and objective: This work aimed to evaluate the preference and effective consumption of the populations of Cameroon as looks alcoholic beverages sell on the Cameroon. Methods: This epidemiological study related to 7946 adult subjects including 6,908 men and 1,038 women, who were left again in four groups: alcoholics (n=307), the city-dwellers (n=4.313), the rural ones (n=867) and students (n=2459). Results: The results of this investigation indicate that the artisanal alcoholic beverages are preferred than consumed; conversely, the industrial alcoholic beverages are preferred than consumed. The beer remains the alcoholic most appreciated and the most consummate drink. A significant result is that the alcohol consumption is higher at the man compared to the women; however, these last have relatively high alcohol consumption. Also, the rural ones have the greatest rate of alcohol consumption (primarily the beer). The city dwellers and the students have the same tendencies to prefer and consume more beer. Conclusion: With regard to the particular case of beer, we observe that his consumption lowered, certainly because of new industrial liquor conditioning, on the market. However, beer remains the alcoholic beverage more consumed by the chronic alcoholics. Recommendations and perspectives: Studies need to be systematically Nationally undertaken in order to surveys on the consumption of beverages artisanal alcoholics sold in Cameroon, to study the chemical composition of these different craft beverages and to assess the acute and chronic effects of their consumption on functioning brains. In the meantime, information campaigns need to take into account amounts of alcohol to be consumed and drinking habits in the different parts of the country because, although alcohol often has connotations pleasure and sociability, its harmful consequences are very diverse. Help identify the various problems associated with certain artisanal manufactures information campaigns must take into account problems of commodities, such as tobacco use, psychotropic products, opiates and derivatives, for the prevention of addictive behaviors to alcohol.

Beverage Type

Consumers often identify “taste” as an important factor when selecting alcoholic beverages. Although it is assumed that reduced alcohol consumption in PROP super-tasters is due to a greater dislike of the nominally aversive sensations that they experience more intensely (e.g., bitterness) when compared to PROP non-tasters, this question has not been specifically asked to them. Therefore, we examined consumers’ self-reported aversion towards specific sensory attributes (bitter, hot/burn, dry, sour, sweet, carbonation) for four alcoholic beverage types (white wine, red wine, beer, spirits) using a convenience sample of U.S. wine consumers (n = 925). Participants rated 18 statements describing different combinations of sensory attributes and alcoholic beverages on a 5-point Likert scale (e.g., Beer tastes too bitter for me). Individuals who tended to agree more strongly with the statements (i.e., they were more averse; p(F) < 0.05) tended to (i) consume less of all beverage types, (ii) consume a higher proportion of white wine (p(r) < 0.05), and (iii) were more likely to be female or PROP super-tasters. The results suggest that self-reported aversion to specific sensory attributes is associated with not only lower overall intake of alcoholic beverages, but also a shift in the relative proportions of beverage type consumed; a key finding for studies investigating how taste perception impacts alcohol consumption.

Archaeological Perspective

The taste for alcohol is not exclusive to humans, as some other animal species are attracted to ripe fruits and nectar due to the natural occurrence of ethanol. However, what makes Homo sapiens different is their capacity to produce alcoholic beverages. From the Neolithic, if not earlier, the production of alcoholic drinks is documented, and this production ensured the supply of alcohol. Consequently, alcohol consumption was no longer sporadic and occasional. This process ran in parallel to the development of specific alcohol-related equipment, and organized drinking patterns gradually became more and more formalized. Its use has depended not only on its effects, mainly its capacity to enhance sociability, but also on historical, economic, and religious factors. The aim of this chapter is to search for the origins of this dynamic in prehistoric Europe from an archaeological perspective in order to explore the foundations of the cultural construction of alcohol.

AbstractObjectiveAlcohol consumption may play a role in the development of obesity but the relationship between alcohol and weight is still unclear. The aim of our study was to assess the cross-sectional association of intakes of total alcohol and of specific alcoholic beverages (wine, beer and spirits) with waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body mass index (BMI) in a large sample of adults from all over France.DesignCross-sectional.SettingParticipants were free-living healthy volunteers of the SU.VI.MAX study (an intervention study on the effects of antioxidant supplementation on chronic diseases).SubjectsFor 1481 women aged 35–60 years and 1210 men aged 45–60 years, intakes of total alcohol and specific alcoholic beverages were assessed by six 24-hour dietary records. BMI and WHR were measured during a clinical examination the year after.ResultsA J-shaped relationship was found between total alcohol consumption and WHR in both sexes and between total alcohol consumption and BMI in men only (P < 0.05). The same relationships were observed with wine (P < 0.05); men and women consuming less than 100 g day−1 had a lower BMI (men only) and WHR than non-drinkers or those consuming more. Spirits consumption was positively associated with BMI (linear regression coefficient β = 0.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.09–0.34 and β = 0.22, 95% CI: 0.06–0.39 for men and women, respectively) and WHR (β = 0.003, 95% CI: 0.001–0.005 and β = 0.003, 95%CI: 0.0002–0.006) in both sexes in a linear fashion. No relationship between beer consumption and BMI or WHR was found.ConclusionIf confirmed in longitudinal studies, our results indicate that consumption of alcoholic beverages may be a risk factor for obesity.

Aims This paper studies the possibility of substituting the consumption of one alcoholic beverage category for another by changing alcohol control measures. It examines four Finnish examples: the waiving in 1952 of the requirement to show a special identity card issued by the alcohol monopoly Alko for buying fortifed wines; again binding the sales of fortifed wines to Alko's identity card in 1958; a 1960s alcohol price policy favouring wines and beer over vodka; and the change in alcohol legislation in 1968, which allowed selling medium beer in grocery stores but left the off-premise sales of all stronger alcoholic beverages to Alko's liquor stores. Data Data on recorded consumption of alcoholic beverages in terms of 100 per cent alcohol per capita according to beverage categories will be used together with the numbers of arrests for drunkenness according to beverage categories as well as different data sources on changes in alcohol control measures. Results & Conclusions The four examples from Finland show that strong alcoholic beverages can be substituted for lighter drinks, but this seems to work especially when the lighter beverages can be used for the same purposes as the stronger ones. It is much more difficult to persuade consumers to substitute strong alcoholic beverages for light ones by changing relative alcohol availability or by adjusting prices, if the consumers also have to change their drinking habits by, for instance, substituting binging with vodka for drinking light wines with meals. The Finnish examples also make it clear that changing from one beverage category to another does not automatically result in changing the way to use alcoholic beverages or the drinking habits themselves.

The current rise in alcoholic trade, in small roadside stalls, even among them has been openly trading alcohol. This results in the ease with which people get liquor. Including the alcoholic trade which is not accompanied by knowledge of the type of alcoholic beverage itself. Many of them do not understand the type of alcohol they can drink or not. Circulation of liquor at this time has not been handled properly, due to the lack of law enforcement against liquor sellers, so that with the easy sale of liquor that is still running it results in children who participate in becoming consumers and consuming liquor so that it has a negative impact on child growth and development. The number of alcoholic parties is certainly not just happening, the ease of people getting liquor makes some people easily drink alcohol. If we look at a number of events, this alcoholic party is carried out by a group of elderly people to high school children who are only a dozen years old. This happens because people can buy liquor easily at convenience stores. The ease of access to liquor is then one of the factors supporting the many alcoholic party events in the community. Another supporting factor from the rise of alcoholic parties in the Cigending Village community is the circulation of illegal alcohol in the community. One of the behaviors of children who reach adolescence is to show their true identity to friends or the environment, with environmental behavior that is not good and is not well cared for by the family can be excessive. In general, teenagers want to be recognized and get special treatment. Negative relationships that influence the use of liquor among teenagers. Liquor can damage the development of child development so there is a need for efforts to protect children from the bad influence of hard miniman as an effort to implement Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. The task of controlling this is in accordance with what is mandated by the Food Law, where the National Police has the right and obligation to control illegal alcoholic drinks without permission in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Efforts to control illegal alcoholic beverages will greatly affect the decline in the incidence of alcoholic drinks because according to several events, people who carry out alcoholic drinks are usually from the lower middle class

The methods. The study was implemented within the framework of epidemiological study “The epidemiology of cardio-vascular diseases in the Russian Federation” (ESSE-RF). The analysis was applied to random sampling of male and female population aged from 25 to 64 years (1628 respondents in totality) residents of the Kemerovo region. The type of consumed alcoholic beverages, rate of consumption, average volume of alcohol consumed per one intake were analyzed. The genuine technique was applied to calculate annual volume of consumed alcohol and also to convert volumes of various types of alcoholic beverages in units of “safe” dosage of ethanol. The results. The most preferred alcoholic beverage are vodka (60.6%), beer (51.7%) and vine (52.2%). The males prefer vodka and beer, the females - vine. With increasing of age the consumption of beer decreases linearly from 74.3% in age group 25-34 years to 33.2% in age group 55-64 years. The preference of vodka is typical for individuals aged from 35 to 54 years (about 65%). The volume of consumption of alcohol reaches in average in sample 1.48 ± 2.07 of mean day dosage of ethanol. With age, volumes of consumed alcohol decrease from 2,17 ± 2,04 in younger age group to 0,75 ± 1,36 in elder age group. In females decreasing is linear and in males lenear too from age of 45 years. for females lower total volumes of consumed alcohol are more characteristic in comparison with the males. The alcohol is consumed basically in “rarely/little” (59,3%) and “often/little” (21,1%) degrees. The females predominantly consume alcohol “rarely/little” (77,4%). With age, increasing is noted of percentage of consuming “rarely/little” from 44.2% among individuals of 33-44 years old to 72.5% in age group 55-64 years. Among social economic indices, positive effect on decreasing of consumption of alcohol render higher education, availability of family (males), lacking of work. The conclusion. The established patterns testify significant effect of gender and age on type, volume and rate of alcohol consumption. The social economic factors make much lesser contribution to volumes of consumed alcohol. for a number of social economic factors no effect is established.

Abstrack. This article is a socio-cultural study of the culture of consuming liquor. This research was conducted using a qualitative method with a case study approach to the Moskona community in West Bintuni Village, West Bintuni District, Bintuni Bay Regency. Using Herbert Blumer's theory of symbolic interactionism, this study seeks to understand the meaning of alcohol consumption for the people of Moscow and the economic, social, and health impacts of the culture of consuming alcoholic beverages. The results of this study reveal that the consumption of alcoholic drinks does come from outside and has developed into a habit in society, and people perceive alcoholic drinks as a form of brotherhood and kinship between groups of people when sitting together. Various efforts have been made by elements of society such as traditional leaders, religious leaders, and the government, such as very high customary fines for people who commit deviant behavior after consuming liquor, but in reality, the rate of accidents and fights after consuming alcoholic beverages is still high. This study also shows that the persistence of alcohol consumption in the community is related to family, economic and social factors.Keyword : Indigenous people, Liquor, Teluk BintuniAbstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana perkembangan komsumsi minuman beralkohol pada masyarakat Moskona yang berada di Kelurahan Bintuni Barat, Distrik Bintuni, Kabupaten Teluk Bintuni, sehingga menjadi sebuah budaya. Sselain itu juga untuk memahami makna konsumsi minuman beralkohol bagi masyarakat Moskona serta dampak ekonomi, sosial dan budaya dari konsumsi minuman beralkohol, dengan menggunakan Teori Interaksionisme Simbolik dari Herbert Blumer. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa konsumsi minuman beralkohol memang datang dari luar dan berkembang menjadi sebuah kebiasaan pada masyarakat, dan masyarakat memaknai minuman beralkohol sebagai bentuk persaudaraan dan kekerabatan di antara kelompok masyarakat saat duduk bersama. Berbagai upaya yang dilakukan oleh elemen masyarakat seperti tokoh adat, tokoh agama, dan pemerintah sudah dilakukan seperti denda adat yang sangat tinggi kepada masyarakat yang melakukan perilaku menyimpang pasca mengkonsumsi minuman beralkohol, namun dalam kenyataannya tingkat kecelakaan dan perkelahian pasca konsumsi minuman beralkohol masih tetap tinggi. Bertahannya kebiasaan konsumsi minuman beralkohol pada masyarakat ada kaitannya dengan faktor keluarga, individu pelaku konsumsi dan maraknya minuman beralkohol yang beredar luas di tengah masyarakat, oleh karena itu upaya yang diharapkan oleh peneliti adalah pemerintah mengambil sikap tegas dengan mengeluarkan Peraturan Daerah (PERDA) terkait minuman beralhokol, untuk mampu meredam berdar luasnya minuman beralkohol tersebut.Kata Kunci : Minuman beralkohol, Peraturan Daerah, Teluk Bintuni

This study aims to determine how the Department of Industry and Trade of Palangkaraya City in implementing Regional Regulation No. 23 of 2014 to the Palangkaraya Alcoholic Beverage Seller. The method used is qualitative. The researcher wants to describe the Implementation of Regional Regulation No. 23 of 2014 from the Department of Industry and Trade of Palangka Raya City to the Seller of Alcoholic Beverages. The author uses 4 (four) indicators of policy implementation namely Information, Policy Content, Community Support and Potential Distribution. The data source consists of primary data, namely the results of interviews with Dinas Perindustrian dan Perdagangan, Alcoholic Beverage Sellers and the people of Palangka Raya City, while secondary data sources are in the form of official Regional Regulation Number 23 of 2014. the results of research on the Implementation of Regional Regulation No. 23 of 2014 are still not optimal due to the difficulty of some Alcoholic Beverage Sellers to be present on time to attend socialization activities and the difficulty of Alcoholic Beverage Sellers in requesting identity cards to teenage buyers. For this reason, the researcher recommends 1) giving a warning to the Alcoholic Beverage Sellers who are late in participating in the Socialization activities and 2) reaffirming the provision of information regarding the Regulations on the prohibition of selling alcoholic drinks to students or under 17 years of age.

Protective Effects

Consumption of alcoholic beverages has been known in many cultures since the ancient civilizations, so harmful consequences of excessive alcohol intake have been well explained. Many epidemiological studies confirmed lower morbidity and mortality rates of cardiovascular diseases in persons who drink alcohol "moderately" (1-2 drinks a day), independently of the kind of alcoholic beverage. This paper presents the review of molecular mechanisms that are believed to explain cardioprotective effect of moderate drinking-alcohol effects on lipoproteins, endothelial cells, blood clot formation and dissolution, as well as genetic and gender variances modifying the relation. A simple recommendation regarding the increase of alcohol consumption cannot be made on population level. The professionals must therefore concentrate on other preventive methods in order to reduce other significant risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.
