The study found that about 60 per cent of the Nepalese population have experienced alcohol and 41 per cent have taken it during the last 12 months. Among those who have ever drunk alcohol, 38 per cent were found to be using it regularly (1-5 days in 30 days) and 10 per cent are daily users (20+ days in a month). More men than women drink (21 per cent female as compared to 50 per cent male taking any type of beverage in the last 30 days). Regarding alcohol types, homemade brews fermented from grains (jand/chang) and liquors distilled from grain and raw sugar (raksi) are the most common drinks. But factory produced beers, distilled liquors, and imported drinks are also common. The context of alcohol use is diverse and differs widely by gender. Access to the alcohol market is more available to men than women. While men drink both inside and outside the home, women's drinking is mostly confined to the house. But it is the women who are mostly the producers of the homemade alcohol. One third of the sampled households were producing alcohol for both consumption and sale. The per capita production of alcohol was 33 manas (16.5 litres) of which two thirds are sold. The per capita income for alcohol was Rs. 327 per month making the economic contribution of alcohol in the household quite significant and a major source of income in some of the poorest households. At the national level, alcohol is a big industry with more than Rs.12 billion invested in over 50 large and medium distilleries and 5 large breweries which, according to the industry sources, directly and indirectly provide employment to 50,000-100,000 people. The government presently collects revenue of around Rs. 5 billion from the liquor business which is a considerable contribution to the total national revenue. The production of alcohol has increased drastically from 400- 600 per cent during the last ten years.
As a sub-sample of the main survey, a total of 426 children and youths, 58.5 per cent boys and 41.5 per cent girls, aged 10-17 years were interviewed from the sample households. Based on their ethnicity, 56.6 per cent belonged to groups which traditionally use alcohol , whereas 43.4 per cent belonged to non-user groups. 64.8 per cent came from rural and 35.2 per cent from urban areas. The use of alcohol was examined through prevalence based on the information collected on both current and lifetime use. The overall prevalence among children aged 10-17 is 17.4 per cent for current (in the last 12 months) and 27.2 per cent for lifetime use. Among them, only 9.2 per cent reported drinking in the last 30 days, most of them 1 to 5 times. The percentage of regular users (20+ days in 30) is very low at 0.8 per cent. The current use is considerably less than lifetime use by about 10 percentage points. The prevalence among boys (21.8 per cent) is about double that of girls (11.2 per cent) indicating gender variation in drinking behaviour. The median age of initiating drinking is 13 years. Traditional and cultural occasions appear to be the most important occasion for initiating drinking (60 per cent). In a previous survey (1998) among 277 urban youths (154 male, 123 female) in age group 18-23 in five colleges of Kathmandu, it was found that 63.5 had experienced alcohol at some point in their lives. Among them, 61 per cent had their first taste of alcohol before the age of 15. Among those initiated, 11 per cent reported drinking 'regularly' currently, 23 per cent 'frequently', 58 per cent 'occasionally', and 8 per cent 'not at all'.
