This study examined the relation of sex, work environment, and level of education to self-reported alcohol-related problem behaviors and estimates of weekly consumption. 216 employees of various establishments located in the eastern United States participated in the study, which involved answering a 17-item questionnaire. It was hypothesized that men would report more problems and greater consumption than women, college educated individuals more than people with no college background, and employees of alcohol-related environments more than those of nonalcohol-related environments. The results confirmed the predictions for environment and sex. There were also significant interactions between sex and environment and for sex and education concerning consumption. The triple interaction was also significant for the consumption variable. Further investigation is needed to determine the ramifications for both employers and employees of alcohol-related areas.
