Abstract

There is literature addressing to cultural aspects of alcohol and alcoholism. However, scholars have paid little attention to study what will happen to alcohol consumption behavior and alcoholism if there is a national government cultural intervention, so that the alcohol drinking culture would change in association with the change of internal institution in a society. This work attempted to study this research question. For this purpose, I selected Mongolia as a research case and examined survey data, statistical data, and data from research-based resources, referring to the last 70 years profile of Mongolian alcohol per capital consumption and alcoholism as well as studying Mongolian historical sources for measuring Mongolian traditional alcohol drinking customs. The data I gathered and observed during this research proved that there is a huge difference between the current drinking culture among younger generation and Mongolian traditional cultural context that was respected and strictly followed by their ancestors. Findings suggest that there has been a parallel increase between the change of alcohol drinking culture and alcohol consumption in connection with the modernization.

알코올과 알코올 중독증을 문화적 면에서 연구하는 문헌이 있다. 하지만 사회 내부제도가 변화되면서 음주문화를 변화시킨 정부의 문화개입이 발생하였음에도 불구하고 음주행위나 알코올 중독증의 영향에 관한 연구는 거의 없다고 볼 수 있다. 이 문제는 본 연구의 주목적이다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 연구사례로 몽골을 선정하였으며 몽골의 전통 음주문화 혹은 음주예절의 측정을 위해 몽골의 역사적 근원을 연구해서 1인당음주량, 알코올중독 관련 70년간의 인지도조사, 통계 등 다양한 연구자료에 의해 분석을 하였다. 각종 연구자료 분석 시 몽골의 청년 음주문화가 그들의 조상들이 엄숙하게 따르던 전통음주문화와 맥락부터 많이 변화된 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 연구결과에 의하면 현대화 관련 음주문화 변화와 음주(소비)간에는 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
