HOLDER, Stanley R.; DUNCAN, David; ADAMS, Walter Randolph. DIET AND ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AMONG THE WICHITA. This paper presents the results of a study conducted among the Wichita of Oklahoma. The study sought to understand the extent to which malnutrition--specifically in vitamin B6, ascorbic acid and zinc, the nutrients needed to convert tryptophan to serotonin--were implicated in the consumption of alcohol. The study was conducted on a random sample of 73 individuals (29 males and 44 females) using a 24-hour recall, a tribe-specific Food Frequency Questionnaire, and the AUDIT, an alcohol abuse rating scale. The results indicate that men were deficient in all three nutrients, while women were deficient in vitamin B6 and zinc. Consumers of alcohol were found to have higher levels of zinc than were non-drinkers, and those with higher levels of zinc were 3 times more likely to score high on the AUDIT, that is, be "problem drinkers." This project, which is a collaborative effort between Wichita tribal members, an epidemiologist and anthropologists, discusses the public health implications of these findings and proposes steps for working with the community to resolve nutritional deficiencies.

"On Alcohol Culture," (1998) A paper for International Symposium of Dietary Scientific-Technical and Cultural Exchanges among Global Chinese (May, Dalian, China). After the symposium, the Chinese Dietary Newspaper published excerpts of the paper with a photo and a brief resume of the author, in the column of Dietary Culture titled as the Cream of Dietary Theory, in Page 4 of Sep 2, 1998, with the author's permission. The author agues that there are nine organic component parts of alcohol culture: 1. The theories about alcohol;  2. The history of alcohol;  3. The traditional art of alcohol making;  4. The utensil of alcohol;  5. The custom about alcohol;  6. The function of alcohol;  7. The art and literature about alcohol;  8. The mentality and action of alcohol drinking;  9. The policies of alcohol during successive dynasties in China. And the definition and connotation of alcohol culture also had been discussed. The paper has been included in the proceedings of the symposium and will be published.

"Alcohol Culture and Civilized Drinking." (1999) (Chinese Dietary Culture, Vol.5, No.1, Feb, Taibei) describes the harmfulness of alcohol abuse, policies on alcohol making, selling and drinking during successive dynasties in Chinese history, and the reasons of why some of them didn't work. The paper interpreted that the positive results of alcohol culture can be used as controlling ways for adjusting people's alcohol actions.

"Alcohol: A New Perspective of Traditional Culture and Modernization," (2000) (Yunnan Social Sciences, No.5), discusses that alcohol culture is both an important component part of the traditional culture and a sign of social civilization. The author agues that a vital problem during the process of modernization is to help people to take a correct attitude toward alcohol drinking which impacts people's living conditions. He makes suggestions at three levels: one for the majority of population - cultural control; two for the minority - social control; three for a few individual cases - consulting service and medical treatment.

"Alcohology: Multi-disciplinary and Synthetic Studies on Alcohol," for 4th International Symposium on Alcohol Culture (2000) (Oct. 10 - 12, Xianyang, Shanxi province, China), Alcohol needs to be studied from multi-disciplinary perspective for it is a single and synthetic object. Alcohol studies undertaken from the biology, microbiology, fermentology and medical science of natural science and the archaeology, historiography, culturology, cultural anthropology, ethnology and folklore of social sciences were enumerated as important examples in this paper. The author mentioned that all of these studies are related to alcohol though none of them are specialized in alcohol and reasons that alcohol studies could be established as an independent discipline - the alcohology - with a broad perspectives from natural sciences to social sciences.
