The association of heavy alcohol consumption with membership in construction occupations has been documented, but not explained by research based on the biomedical model that emphasizes pathology and individual etiology. This study utilized an anthropological perspective to investigate the influence of occupational culture on drinking behavior in the skilled building trades. The research was conducted over a four year period and was based on ethnographic methods including direct observation and interviewing. Data were collected from three skilled building trades in a metropolitan area in the Midwest. Most members reported a history of heavy drinking with co-workers. Members described increased drinking upon entry into the trade as a strategy for "fitting in." Conformity to the occupational drinking norm represented an attempt to increase job stability and was one indication that a new recruit was willing to conform to other tradesman behaviors. Co-worker drinking increased a member's commitment to the trade and to a strong work ethic, benefiting the employer. This heavy drinking norm is undergoing change to reduced drinking and most members have reduced their alcohol consumption to moderate or abstinent levels. The increase in neo-temperance ideology in the dominant culture may be affecting this trend to reduced drinking. The influence of the dominant culture on tradesman behaviors becomes more important as economic and technological changes reduce the effect of the occupational community on member behaviors. This study shows that an anthropological perspective can help explain demographic variation in drinking behavior.
