Abstract: 
This paper starts from the drinking culture of male adults, and then connects to the macro level of male adults' drinking values and their social context. This study applies grounded theory to conduct grounded field interviews with male adult drinking groups, and carries out open coding, axis coding and selective coding to obtain the meaning of the text. This study contributes to the "grounded theory of male adult drinking behavior" saturated with emergence theory, and puts forward insights into the demand value context path, expectation value context path, and environmental value context path. In the research system of drinking culture, it presents the value and integrity of theoretical views.
