      ab: A study was conducted to examine the relationship between alcohol consumption and divorce in Russia. Data on 374 respondents, aged 16 and older, were drawn from the Moscow Oblast Survey. The findings from a logit regression model of drinking in Moscow revealed that both divorced and single persons have elevated risks of drinking relative to married persons. This association is independent of variables such as gender, education level, and religiosity. Although Russian alcohol consumption has been largely characterized as a response to macrosociological problems, such as terrorism and chronic shortages of consumer goods, the above findings indicate that a Western pattern of divorce and drinking exists in Russia.
