Abstract
Adult (18+ years old) Malawian men and women’s alcohol use and social drinking

norms were examined. From 31,676 screened households, heads and spouses in 1,795

households with at least one alcohol user were interviewed. Alcohol use last 12 months

was reported by 27.3% and 1.6% of all adult men and women respectively. Male and

female alcohol users’ mean consumption was 8.05 litres and 1.51 litres of pure alcohol

respectively. Spouses reported 55 and 61% higher consumption level for their spouses

compared to self-reports. Without including non-drinkers, drinking norms explained

6.7% of men’s and 20.9% of women’s alcohol consumption. Prevention efforts could

be directed at helping women not to start drinking by supporting their existing gender-specific

descriptive drinking norms.
