Attitudes of urban South Africans towards drinking and drunkenness.
The question of whether South Africans approve of drinking and drunkenness was researched. It seems that although they evaluate both drinking and drunkenness in general negatively, and particularly more negatively than for example Finns and Swedes do, substantial proportions accept drinking and drunkenness in certain situations, especially when these are of a non-work nature.
