Healthy and rewarding recreation participation is often proposed as an alternative to alcohol use and abuse. Yet, alcohol consumption usually occurs in one's non-work time and drinkers anticipate that alcohol consumption will contribute to their relaxation and enjoyment. Little research has investigated the link between alcohol consumption and leisure participation. This study investigated the relationship between alcohol consumption and leisure participation patterns in adults in the general population. Telephone interviews were used to determine subjects' frequency of participation in various leisure activities, frequency of drinking per month, and quantity of alcohol consumed per month. MANOVA analyses indicated that frequency of drinking per month is associated with greater participation in community social and outdoor activities. Partial correlation analyses indicated that some relationships between drinking and leisure participation varied significantly on the basis of whether or not daily drinkers were included in the analyses. Implications for practice and further research are discussed
