Consumed gay

Description:September 28, , by Emily Land In San Francisco, a team of researchers recently published a study in AIDS and Behavior describing the effects of a structural intervention to help patrons of gay bars reduce binge drinking and pace their alcohol use. A three-pronged approach—which included installing water dispensers in bars, displaying messaging in bars about pacing alcohol use, and giving people real-time feedback about their blood alcohol concentration—had a significant effect on how much people drank and how well they paced their alcohol intake throughout the night. Researchers worked with two gay bars in San Francisco to deliver all three components of the intervention. Water dispensers were installed that provided easy, free access to water to patrons. In-bar media messaging campaign materials encouraged people to pace their alcohol intake and drink water throughout the night. This individual component of the intervention, said Hecht, was meant to allow participants the opportunity to reflect on how their drinking compares to that of their peers.
