Distinguishing High-Intensity Drinking from Heavy-Episodic Drinking Events Among Heavy-Drinking U.S. adults
INTRODUCTION: High-intensity drinking (HID) poses significant health risks, yet research on its prevalence and contextual factors, among general adult populations, remains limited. To identify intervention points among heavy drinkers, this study compared event-level factors that were associated with higher risk for HID compared to heavy episodic drinking (5+ drinks). METHODS: We surveyed 756 adults (ages 18-65) who engaged in past-year 5+ drinkin…
Harms from others' drinking among college students
Characteristics associated with buying alcohol to‐go and for delivery during the first year of the Covid ‐19 pandemic among a national sample of US adults
Changes in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in the first two years (2018 – 2020) of San Francisco’s tax
Background Sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) taxes are a promising strategy to decrease SSB consumption, and their inequitable health impacts, while raising revenue to meet social objectives. In 2016, San Francisco passed a one cent per ounce tax on SSBs. This study compared SSB consumption in San Francisco to that in San José, before and after tax implementation in 2018. Methods & findings A longitudinal panel of adults (n = 1,443) was surveyed fro…
High Intensity Drinking (HID) Assessed by Maximum Quantity Consumed Is an Important Pattern Measure Adding Predictive Value in Higher and Lower Income Societies for Modeling Alcohol-Related Problems
Adjusting for demographics and standard drinking measures, High Intensity Drinking (HID), indexed by the maximum quantity consumed in a single day in the past 12 months, may be valuable in predicting alcohol dependence other harms across high and low income societies. The data consisted of 17 surveys of adult (15,460 current drinkers; 71% of total surveyed) in Europe (3), the Americas (8), Africa (2), and Asia/Australia (4). Gender-disaggregated …
A gender-focused multilevel analysis of how country, regional and individual level factors relate to harm from others’ drinking
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine how gender, age and education, regional prevalence of male and female risky drinking and country-level economic gender equality are associated with harms from other people's drinking. METHODS: 24,823 adults in ten countries were surveyed about harms from drinking by people they know and strangers. Country-level economic gender equality and regional prevalence of risky drinking along with age and ge…
The elusiveness of representativeness in general population surveys for alcohol
Concurring with the authors of Rehm et al ., this comment endorses their recommendations, but points out that adult household population surveys will still be valuable in cross‐sectional and panel series long based on this frame, recognising too that to fully account for heavy drinkers beyond this frame, though valuable, is onerous (by providing one rigorous example from a county study). Last, the importance of attending to improved alcohol patte…

Association between state‐level alcohol availability and taxation policies on the prevalence of alcohol‐related harms to persons other than the drinker in the USA, 2000–2015
Improving Knowledge that Alcohol Can Cause Cancer is Associated with Consumer Support for Alcohol Policies
Knowledge that alcohol can cause cancer is low in Canada. Alcohol labels are one strategy for communicating alcohol-related harms, including cancer. Extending existing research observing an association between knowledge of the alcohol-cancer link and support for alcohol policies, this study examined whether increases in individual-level knowledge that alcohol is a carcinogen following an alcohol labelling intervention are associated with support …
Effects of strengthening alcohol labels on attention, message processing, and perceived effectiveness
Extending the Harm to Others Paradigm
Harms attributed to others' alcohol use have been extensively studied in the US and internationally, but no studies have measured harms from others' marijuana use. We utilize data from five cross-sectional waves of a survey series with representative samples of Washington state residents conducted every 6 months from 2014 to 2016, after the legalization of adult use marijuana. Harms attributed to others' drinking and to others' marijuana use incl…
Communicating risks to drinkers
Gender Equality, Drinking Cultures and Second-Hand Harms from Alcohol in the 50 US States
Detrimental effects of high male binge drinking rates may be modified by gender equality. Targeted interventions may reduce alcohol-related harms experienced by women in states with high rates of male binge drinking. Restrictions in access to contraception and abortion may exacerbate harms due to men's drinking
Supranational changes in drinking patterns
Background: That there have been ‘long waves’ of consumption in parallel in different societies has previously been noted. Now there is a sustained drop in drinking among youth in most of Europe, Australia and North America. Can such changes be understood in a common frame? In terms of inexorable historical phenomena or forces, like Kondratieff waves? In terms of generational shifts, with a younger generation reacting against the habits of an old…
Children’s experience of physical harms and exposure to family violence from others’ drinking in nine societies
One in 25 caregivers with children report physical or family violence harms to children because of others' drinking. The adjusted odds of harm are significantly greater (more than four-fold) in households with a heavy or harmful drinker, with men most likely to be defined as this drinker in the household
Adverse childhood events and risk of diabetes onset in the 1979 National longitudinal survey of youth cohort
ACE predicted diabetes onset among women, though this relationship was attenuated when controlling for BMI. Being overweight or obese was significantly more common among women with a history of ACE, which suggests BMI may be on the pathway from ACE to diabetes onset for women
The Gender Difference in the Association Between Early Onset of Drinking and Problem Drinking Between the U.S. and Japan
Using comparable survey data from the GENACIS Project, collected from representative samples of people aged 20 to 70 years old in the U.S. (n=2,598) and Japan (n=1,734), this study examined, across these two diverse societies, the gender difference in the association between the early onset of drinking and the development of drinking problems. The results of this study suggest that there does not appear to be a cross-national causal relationship …
Gender and Country Differences in Alcohol-Aggression Expectancy and Alcohol-Related Intimate Partner Violence
Alcohol use is associated with a higher rate of violent offending among males and a higher rate of violent victimization among females, especially for Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Using comparable self-reported data from the GENACIS Project, the present study examines between the United States (n=2,363) and Japan (n=1,660) whether the expected gender difference in alcohol-related IPV is explained by alcohol-aggression expectancy. The results …
Hazardous Drinking and Exposure to Interpersonal and Community Violence on Both Sides of the U.S.-Mexico Border
Different patterns of heavy drinking occur by country and proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border. Few studies describe the impact of violence on drinking between countries and along the border. Survey data is from U.S.-Mexican-origin adults living in Texas and Mexican border and nonborder cities, N = 4,796. Participants were asked about alcohol consumption, interpersonal physical violence (IPV), and exposure to community violence. Monthly hazardous …
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Self-Reported Number of Drinks in 2 Hours Before Driving Becomes Impaired
Objectives. We used data on self-reported impaired driving and the number of drinks the person states he or she can have in 2 hours before impairment to evaluate predictors of individuals’ impairment thresholds by race/ethnicity. Methods. Data come from the 2000, 2005, and 2010 US National Alcohol Surveys, with oversamples of Black and Hispanic populations. We estimated negative binomial models overall, by gender, and for those who reported impai…
Gender and social pressure to change drinking behavior
Cohort effects among women may be due to increased alcohol marketing to younger women and the changing social contexts of their drinking. Future studies should assess associations between drinking contexts, pressures, and outcomes
Adolescent drinking onset and its adult consequences among men
BACKGROUND: Few population-based studies from low-income and middle-income countries have addressed adolescent drinking onset and its association with adult alcohol-related adverse outcomes. The aims of this study were to: (1) estimate the rate of adolescent drinking onset and its trend over time among men (2) describe demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with adolescent drinking onset; and (3) examine the association between adolesce…

Social Disadvantage, Stress, and Alcohol Use Among Black, Hispanic, and White Americans
These results are consistent with other studies of stress and adverse health consequences associated with social disadvantage. Although there is a clear disparity in exposure to such hardship, experiences of disadvantage appear to have similar effects on problem drinking among both racial/ethnic minorities and whites. Future research should attempt to assess causal directions in the relationships among social and economic hardship, stress, and al…
Alcohol-Attributable Cancer Deaths and Years of Potential Life Lost in the United States
Objectives. Our goal was to provide current estimates of alcohol-attributable cancer mortality and years of potential life lost (YPLL) in the United States. Methods. We used 2 methods to calculate population-attributable fractions. We based relative risks on meta-analyses published since 2000, and adult alcohol consumption on data from the 2009 Alcohol Epidemiologic Data System, 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and 2009–2010 Natio…
A Study of the Alcohol Policy Development Process in the United States
The project identified factors influencing U.S. federal alcohol policy formation and especially the role of research. It explored the applicability of John Kingdon's “Policy Stream” model involving three interacting policy streams: problem recognition, policy alternatives, and politics. Each stream is necessary but insufficient for policy formation, and coupling streams in “windows of opportunity” is a key to moving legislation. Federal alcohol-p…
Trends in the treatment of alcohol problems in the US general population, 1979 through 1990
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of alcohol-treatment service utilization trends in the general population during the 1980s. METHODS. Three national surveys of the US household population (1979, 1984, and 1990) were used for trend analysis of treatment utilization. Trends in demographic characteristics of persons with lifetime treatment rates and particular types of treatment were examined by means of …
Coverage of beverage alcohol issues in the print media in the United States, 1985-1991
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the portrayal of alcohol-related issues in the print media in the United States during the 7-year period bracketing implementation of the US alcohol warning label act in November 1988. METHODS: All articles that appeared from 1985 to 1991 in 5 national newspapers and that were indexed as dealing with beverage alcohol were identified. Content analysis of a 15% sample of these articles allowed an in-depth assessment …
Face-to-Face versus Telephone Interviews
This research compares retrieval strategies and comprehension problems encountered by 30 heavier drinking respondents using protocol analysis on three alcohol use items: In the last 12 months, maximum quantity consumed in one day, frequency of drinking only one to two drinks, and frequency of drunkenness. We compare two modes of administering the questionnaire: face-to-face and telephone interviews. Results indicate that respondents in both modes…
Patterns of Drinking and Mortality from Different Diseases—An Overview
Alcohol has been linked to a considerable burden of disease worldwide. Recent epidemiological research has shown that dimensions of alcohol exposure other than average volume are causal in the etiology of disease. Based on a systematic, computer-assisted search, this article attempts a qualitative review of this literature. Results show that cardiovascular disease, especially ischaemic heart disease, is linked to patterns of drinking: regular and…
The Alcohol Policy Development Process
We investigate the policymaking activities of members of the federal alcohol-policy community, including efforts to raise issues on the agenda, develop policy alternatives, and influence political decisions. Qualitative data (observations, attitudes, and activities in relation to alcohol policymaking dynamics) from 64 key-informant interviews inform this analysis of strategies and tactics. The paper draws on archival data, including interest-grou…
Alcohol Advertising Policies in the United States
This article describes policy developments in alcohol advertising and counter-advertising at the U.S. national level, including federally mandated warning labels on alcoholic beverage containers, the campaign for health warnings on broadcast advertising, the end of the voluntary ban on advertising of distilled spirits on television and radio, and the debate concerning a health-benefits label on wine products. Federal legislative documents and med…
Adolescent drinking onset and its adult consequences among men
BACKGROUND: Few population-based studies from low-income and middle-income countries have addressed adolescent drinking onset and its association with adult alcohol-related adverse outcomes. The aims of this study were to: (1) estimate the rate of adolescent drinking onset and its trend over time among men (2) describe demographic and socioeconomic factors associated with adolescent drinking onset; and (3) examine the association between adolesce…
Alcohol Policy Opinions in the United States over a 15-Year Period of Dynamic per Capita Consumption Changes
We examine 1989–2005 trends in United States (US) public opinion using 11 alcohol policy items (seven national telephone surveys) during a dynamic drop in per capita intake until the mid-1990s, followed by the first sustained upturn seen since 1980. In the 2000 U.S. National Alcohol Survey (NAS) survey 14 available policy items were factor analyzed, forming four factor-based scales replicated in 2005. Linear regression examined changing demograph…
The Role of Research in the Development of U.S. Federal Alcohol Control Policy
In the development of federal alcohol control policy, is research used merely to inform policymakers and the public, or to persuade them? Is it critical to the enactment of public policy, or is it an afterthought? To answer these questions, we analyzed in-depth interviews with federal alcohol policy community members, including those of the executive and legislative branches, interest group representatives, advocates, and media professionals. A s…
Improving Graduated Frequencies Alcohol Measures for Monitoring Consumption Patterns
We investigate several types of graduated frequency (GF) instruments for monitoring drinking patterns. Two studies with 12-month GF measures and daily data were used: (i) the Australian 2004 National Drug Strategy Household Survey (NDSHS) (n = 24,109 aged 12+; 22,546 with GF and over 8000 with yesterday data) and (ii) a US methodological study involving a 28-day daily diary plus GF summary measures drawn from the National Alcohol Survey (NAS) (n …
A Randomized Trial of a Mental Health Consumer‐Managed Alternative to Civil Commitment for Acute Psychiatric Crisis
This experiment compared the effectiveness of an unlocked, mental health consumer‐managed, crisis residential program (CRP) to a locked, inpatient psychiatric facility (LIPF) for adults civilly committed for severe psychiatric problems. Following screening and informed consent, participants ( n = 393) were randomized to the CRP or the LIPF and interviewed at baseline and at 30‐day, 6‐month, and 1‐year post admission. Outcomes were costs, level of…
Changing the Price of Alcohol in the United States
Based on a study examining the development, modification, and blockage of U.S. federal alcohol policy during the 1980s and 1990s, this paper focuses on alcohol prices and taxes. Data consist of 64 in-depth interviews of experts on U.S. federal alcohol policy, supplemented by findings from archival government reports, trade journals, and the research literature. Prior research has shown an association between increases in price and decreases in pe…

Concern about Family Members' Drinking and Cultural Consistency
The data analyzed came from Gender, Alcohol and Culture: An International Study and involve population surveys for 18 countries (total N = 34,916). The article studies gender and country differences in the relationship between social pressure to drink less experienced by individuals, considering seeking help for alcohol problems, and alcohol consumption and problem levels (AUDIT). In most countries for both men and women, informal control was app…
Are Estimates of the Concentration of Alcohol Consumption Affected by Undercoverage? Evidence from Five Pooled U.S. Surveys
Conclusions concerning the properties of alcohol consumption distributions are often based on surveys that underestimate the amount consumed by sampled populations. Relationships between underreporting of alcohol consumption and the concentration of heavy drinking could present problems for several important research findings. Using data from five US telephone surveys, we compared state-level survey estimates of alcohol consumption and concentrat…
Screening for Depression in Primary Care Clinics
The present study was undertaken to examine the utility of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) as screening instruments for primary care clinic patients. We examined: 1) patients' willingness to complete the scales; 2) the level of agreement between the screening instruments and DSM-III diagnosis of Major Depressive Episode, based on the NIMH Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS); …

Estimating Alcohol Consumption
There are several challenges to obtaining an accurate estimate of alcohol consumption and per capita consumption in a jurisdiction. There are difficulties in estimating the extent of illegal production and fraudulent transportation activities. In some jurisdictions there is extensive home production, which is difficult to estimate. There are challenges to estimating the amount of alcohol that is brought into a country or is taken out, primarily b…

Preventing Alcohol-Related Problems in the US Through Policy
A cross-cultural analysis of women's drinking and drinking-related problems in five countries
This study (1) examined patterns of correlations between two alcohol consumption measures and 2 drinking-related problem domains in women from 5 different countries; and (2) tested the hypothesis that the correlations between women's alcohol consumption and social criticism of their drinking would be higher in countries where women's drinking is less accepted or tolerated. Data were from 6 general population studies in Australia, the Czech Republ…
Public Opinion on Alcohol Policy
Public opinion on alcohol policy has received little research attention until recently, although a coherent research agenda in this area holds promise of a better understanding of the public health policymaking process. This paper reviews and critiques the major analyses of policy opinion in the United States, discusses national support for specific policy options, and addresses trends in policy opinion. The dynamics of policy opinion are complex…

Social Disadvantage, Stress, and Alcohol Use Among Black, Hispanic, and White Americans
These results are consistent with other studies of stress and adverse health consequences associated with social disadvantage. Although there is a clear disparity in exposure to such hardship, experiences of disadvantage appear to have similar effects on problem drinking among both racial/ethnic minorities and whites. Future research should attempt to assess causal directions in the relationships among social and economic hardship, stress, and al…
Disparities in Alcohol‐Related Problems Among White, Black, and Hispanic Americans
Background: This study assesses racial/ethnic disparities in negative social consequences of drinking and alcohol dependence symptoms among white, black, and Hispanic Americans. We examine whether and how disparities relate to heavy alcohol consumption and pattern, and the extent to which social disadvantage (poverty, unfair treatment, and racial/ethnic stigma) accounts for observed disparities. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2005 U.S. Nation…
Externalities from Alcohol Consumption in the 2005 US National Alcohol Survey
A subsample (n = 2,550) of the 2005 US National Alcohol Survey of adults was used to estimate prevalence and correlates of six externalities from alcohol abuse--family problems, assaults, accompanying intoxicated driver, vehicular accident, financial problems and vandalized property--all from another's drinking. On a lifetime basis, 60% reported externalities, with a lower 12-month rate (9%). Women reported more family/marital and financial impac…
Drinking and Informal Social Control
In this issue there are five articles concerned with drinking and informal social control. Differences in how society reacts to drinking and alcohol-related harms can often be explained by cultural variation in societies' use of formal rules. But not all rules are explicitly expressed, which is especially true of those that underlie studies included here: those involving reactions of spouses or partners, other family members and close friends, to…

Two studies with 12-month GF measures and daily data were used: (i) the Australian 2004 National Drug Strategy Household Survey (NDSHS) (n = 24,109 aged 12+; 22,546 with GF and over 8000 with yesterday data) and (ii) a US methodological study involving a 28-day daily diary plus GF summary measures drawn from the National Alcohol Survey (NAS) (n …
Gender Differences in Public and Private Drinking Contexts
This multi-national study hypothesized that higher levels of country-level gender equality would predict smaller differences in the frequency of women's compared to men's drinking in public (like bars and restaurants) settings and possibly private (home or party) settings. GENACIS project survey data with drinking contexts included 22 countries in Europe (8); the Americas (7); Asia (3); Australasia (2), and Africa (2), analyzed using hierarchical…
