The aim of this study was to examine sociodemographic and health correlates of concurrent binge drinking and tobacco use in a national adult population in Laos. A cross-sectional study based on a stratified cluster random sampling was conducted in 2013. The total sample included 2,543 individuals 18–64 years. Questionnaire interview, blood pressure, and anthropometric measurements, and biochemistry tests were conducted. Results indicate that 18.6% (38.3% in men and 5.2% in women) of the participants had engaged in concurrent current tobacco use and past month binge drinking, 15.2% in current tobacco use only and 28.4% in past month binge drinking only. Among current tobacco users, 42.2% engaged in frequent heavy drinking (3 or more times/month), and among past month heavy alcohol users, 55.8% were daily current tobacco users. In adjusted analysis, being 35 to 49 years old, lower education, having normal weight, and moderate or high physical activity were associated with concurrent current tobacco use and past month heavy drinking. Current tobacco use alone increased with age and decreased with education and heavy drinking alone decreased with age and increased with education. Findings suggest sociodemographic and health factors are important for public health interventions in addressing concurrent tobacco and alcohol use
