Objective: To identify the influencing factors of drinking behaviors among migrant workers from rural to urban in Shanghai, China.

Logistic multivariate regression was made to analyze the influcing factors of drinking behaviors. Results: Totally 5 623 valid questionnaires were got. The drinking rate of migrant workers in Shanghai was 35.0%; the frequency of drinking in men (54.3%) was higher than that in women (14.8%). Among the subjects having different levels of education, those who got above bachelor education were more likely to drink (57.1%). Among the crowds of different income, those who had higher monthly income (3 500-4 499 yuan) were more likely to drink (53.9%). There were several factors influencing the drinking rate of rural to urban migrant workers, including gender, career, marital status, educational level, personal monthly income, living conditions, smoking and depression factor score.
