Abstract
dc.description.abstract
Alcohol can harm both drinkers and their human environment.
Most of research in Chile has focused on the drinker. This work focuses
on the damage to others. Governmental expenditures due to drinking are estimated
to quadruple the income earned through taxation. Aim: To report the
results of a population survey conducted in Chile in 2013 to assess the harm
done to others from drinking by a known or unknown drinker. Material and
Methods: A household survey of a sample of 1500 subjects living in urban areas,
predominantly over 50.000 inhabitants, was conducted by trained interviewers.
Results: A significant number of respondents reported that the effect of alcohol
consumption by third parties was somewhat (18.7%) or very negative (14.8%).
The most frequent negative effects were verbal abuse (37.4%), being bullied
(17.4%), feeling fearful at home or in a private meeting (19.6%) and family
problems (16.9%). Conclusions: About one third of Chileans surveyed have
suffered negative effects due to alcohol consumption of a known or unknown
drinker. This finding signals the need of designing public policies addressed to
minimize or prevent collateral effects of drinking.
