TL;DR: Decreased AD in men and increased AA in women seem to contribute to the decrease of gender gap, and increased risk for AA in young women suggests needs for interventions.

Abstract: While decreasing trend in gender differences in alcohol use disorders was reported in Western countries, the change in Asian countries is unknown. This study aims to explore the shifts in gender difference in alcohol abuse (AA) and dependence (AD) in Korea. We compared the data from two nation-wide community surveys to evaluate gender differences in lifetime AA and AD by Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV). Face-to-face interviews using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) were applied to all subjects in 2001 (n=6,220) and 2011 (n=6,022). Male-to-female ratio of odds was decreased from 6.41 (95% CI, 4.81-8.54) to 4.37 (95% CI, 3.35-5.71) for AA and from 3.75 (95% CI, 2.96-4.75) to 2.40 (95% CI, 1.80-3.19) for AD. Among those aged 18-29, gender gap even became statistically insignificant for AA (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 0.97-2.63) and AD (OR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.80-2.41) in 2011. Men generally showed decreased odds for AD (0.55; 95% CI, 0.45-0.67) and women aged 30-39 showed increased odds for AA (2.13; 95% CI 1.18-3.84) in 2011 compared to 2001. Decreased AD in men and increased AA in women seem to contribute to the decrease of gender gap. Increased risk for AA in young women suggests needs for interventions.

Men’s decrease and women’s increase in harmful alcohol use from the 2014 to 2018 national surveys in Taiwan: A harbinger for an emerging national trend in East Asia?
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the gender differences in population trends in past-month alcohol use, binge drinking, and harmful alcohol use in Taiwan and found that males and females had different trends: males showed significant reductions in all three alcohol use behaviours (a decrease of 3.79%, 1.59%, and 2.60%, respectively), while females exhibited a significant rise in harmful alcohol usage (from 1.32% to 1.72%), particularly among those aged 18-29 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the gender differences in population trends in past-month alcohol use, binge drinking, and harmful alcohol use and found that there was gender convergence in alcohol use in Taiwan, mainly due to men's decrease and women's increase in harmful consumption.

A Theory of Rational Addiction
Gary S. Becker,Kevin M. Murphy +1 more
TL;DR: The authors developed a theory of rational addiction in which rationality means a consistent plan to maximize utility over time, and showed that even small deviations from the consumption at an unstable steady state can lead to large cumulative rises over time in addictive consumption or to rapid falls in consumption to abstention.

TL;DR: The design and development of the CIDI is described and the current field testing of a slightly reduced "core" version is described, allowing investigators reliably to assess mental disorders according to the most widely accepted nomenclatures in many different populations and cultures.
