AB  - INTRODUCTION: Pattern of alcohol consumption substantially changed in India with 
      in last 20 to 25 years. Excessive alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for 
      various morbidity and mortality. So, scientific study to identify alcohol 
      consumption patterns and its correlates will be helpful to formulate preventive 
      strategies. AIM: To estimate the pattern of alcohol consumption and to determine 
      its correlates, among the adult population of the state of West Bengal in India. 
      MATERIALS AND METHODS: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted 
      among the adult population of the state of West Bengal at Gram Panchayat (GP) 
      level. Ninety-nine (n=99) adult (>/= 18 years) men and women of Guchati GP at 
      Paschim Medinipur district, was selected using Lot Quality Assurance Sampling 
      (LQAS) technique. The study participants were interviewed using a pre-designed 
      and pre-tested schedule. RESULTS: It was estimated that the prevalence of low 
      risk drinking or abstinence (Zone I) was 65.5% (95% CI 55.5% to 75.5%) and the 
      prevalence of alcohol use in excess of low-risk (Zone II) was 17.6% (95% CI 7.6% 
      to 27.6%), and the prevalence of harmful and hazardous drinking (Zone III) was 
      8.5% (95% CI 0% to 18.5%) and the prevalence alcohol dependence (Zone-IV) was 
      8.4% (0% to 18.4%). Logistic regression model shows that "gender" (p = 0.00) and 
      "employment status" (p = 0.01) added significantly to the model with adjusted 
      odds ratio of 82.27 (95% CI 18.17-372.58) and 0.13 (0.03-0.66). CONCLUSION: There 
      is a need for comprehensive screening and treatment programme to deal with the 
      problems of Alcohol Use Disorders among adults to achieve good health and well 
      being for sustainable development.
