説明

Although drinking in Japan, and sometimes drunkenness as well, is still genderprescribed behavior, the conventional positive association between drinking and the symbolic masculinity in the attitudinal aspect has been withdrawing. Moreover, no relationship between drinking frequency and the personal trait of masculinity per se was found according to our survey. An interesting opposite pattern was observed between the alcoholic group and the general sample. The alcoholic people have less certain perceived masculinity and a wish for more masculinity much more largely than the general sample. This is quite contrary to the general sample group, in which those who have less certain masculinity and a wish for more masculinity drink less frequently. Thus, the alleged association between drinking and the symbolic masculinity, as typically observed in alcoholic people who generally have weaker and unstable masculinity, has currently turned out to be rather opposite and negative one.
