Young women's risky drinking cultures are pertinent to the world of amateur Australian Football League, yet they have received limited research attention. Drawing on surveys, focus groups, and semi-structured ‘scroll-back’ interviews, this study provides an in-depth investigation of negotiations of gender and risky drinking in such cultures. A range of intersecting socio-cultural themes were identified, summarised into four overarching elements: drinking as central to initial homosociality; awareness of appropriateness; divergences between women's and men's cultural priorities and alcohol behaviours; and young women's unique cultural prioritisation of collectivity and mutuality. The findings further sociological knowledge on risky drinking and gender.

年轻女性的冒险饮酒文化与澳大利亚业余足球联赛的世界息息相关，但它们受到的研究关注有限。本研究利用调查、焦点小组和半结构化的“回溯”访谈，对此类文化中的性别谈判和危险饮酒进行了深入调查。确定了一系列相互交叉的社会文化主题，总结为四个总体要素：饮酒是最初同性恋的核心；适当性的意识；女性和男性的文化优先事项和酒精行为之间的差异；以及年轻女性独特的文化优先考虑集体性和相互性。这些发现进一步加深了关于危险饮酒和性别的社会学知识。
