The purpose of this research is to investigate the alcohol consumption rate of the Kanchanaburi population and to explore the relationship between types of activity and alcohol consumption behaviours controlling by sex, age, marital status, education and place of residence. The data was obtained from the baseline survey of Kanchanaburi project round 1 (2000) conducted by the Institute for Population and Social research, Mahidol University. The population of aged 15 years and over (except students) was 25,546. The analysis was based on descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. The results revealed that almost half of the population (42 percent) consumed alcoholic beverages, 9 percent of the population consumed alcoholic beverages regularly (at least 1 day in a week). About four percent of the population consumed both liquors and beer regularly, 3 percent regularly consumed liquor, and 2 percent regularly consumed beer. The consumer’s types of activity were related to both liquors and beer consumption behaviours with statistical significance at 0.05. The population who were industrial workers, crafts men and drivers consumed liquors or beer more regularly than other occupations. It was also found that males, labour force aged (25-59), married, high education, and those who lived in urban area were more likely to consume liquors and beer more regularly than females, young or elderly, single, lower education, and those who lived in rural area respectively. The study recommended the organizations such as the Provincial Public Heath Office should promote more about alcohol consumption prevention, especialy in the groups of industrial employees, crafts men and drivers as the first priority.
