“…According to a recent survey in the European community, 34 % of the boys aged 11-12 years in Italy are weekly drinkers, whereas the figure for the corresponding population in Ireland and in the Netherlands is 0 %. This survey also shows that there is a clear preponderance of alcohol use among preadolescent and adolescent boys over girls in all European community countries (van Reek & Adrinase, 1994).…”

Alcohol use and nicotine use were investigated in a representative sample of 1110 study participants aged 10 to 17 years. In addition to questions on substance use, the participants responded to questionnaires covering behavior and emotions, life events, self-related cognitions, coping capacities, perceived parental behavior, perceived school environment, and the social network. The gender gap in substance used tended to close with increasing age. Parental substance use served as a model for substance use in the participants. Substance users had more abnormal scores on almost all variables as compared to abstaining controls. Lack of acceptance and control, pressure to achieve at school, and life events significantly predicted substance use. The latter served as a moderating risk variable for delinquent behavior under stress.

“…For example, drinking has been associated with gambling [11][12][13] and an increase in tobacco consumption. 14 Alcohol consumption has been shown to increase the reward value of smoking; smokers look forward to and experience greater satisfaction from smoking after consumption of alcoholic than non-alcoholic drinks. 15 These expenditures, in addition to the money spent on smoking, suggest a reduction in expenditure on other items.…”

Aim: To examine how household expenditure on food at restaurants, alcohol, gambling and insurance vary between smoking and non-smoking households. Design: Cross sectional survey of households from private dwellings, conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), using a stratified multistage area sample design. Setting: Australia, 1998-99. Participants: Nationally representative sample of households (n = 6892). Main outcome measures: Expenditure on meals at restaurants, alcohol, alcoholic beverages at licensed premises, gambling, and insurance. Results: The odds of reporting expenditure on restaurant food and health insurance were 20% and 40% smaller for smoking than non-smoking households, respectively. The odds of reporting expenditure on alcohol (not including expenditure at licensed premises), drinking at licensed premises, and gambling were 100%, 50%, and 40% greater for smoking than for non-smoking households, respectively. Conclusions: The study suggests that smokers are more likely to engage in risky behaviour. Implementing smoking bans in licensed premises and gambling venues can provide an opportunity to reduce smoking prevalence. Quitting or cutting down smoking can provide opportunities for expenditure on other products or services, and enhance standards of living.

“…Among the adult Danish population, alcohol habits are also influenced by level of education: adolescents from low-income families have a lower risk of alcohol drinking than adolescents from middle-income families (OR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.6-0.9). We did not find many studies of adolescents' personal financial situations as predictors of binge drinking; only a few studies from the 1990s appear to have studied the association between pocket money and alcohol drinking (12). More recent studies have shown that there is a positive association between pocket money and other types of substance use such as smoking, so it has been suggested that a reduction in pocket money can be used to prevent adolescent smoking (13,14).…”

“…We have not been able to find many studies investigating the association between pocket money and adolescent binge drinking; however, a few studies from the 1990s found a positive association between pocket money and high levels of weekly alcohol drinking (12,20). It is quite surprising that there are so few studies, because there has been much attention given to the association between pocket money and other types of substance use like smoking.…”

Background and Objective: Binge drinking is a relatively common behavior among adolescents in Denmark. The aim of this study is to assess whether peer alcohol drinking, mothers' and fathers' attitudes toward alcohol drinking, and the adolescents' own financial situations (e.g., the presence of pocket money) predict binge drinking among adolescents in Denmark. Methods: This study is based on the Danish data from the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs, which took place in 2011. This cross-sectional survey obtained data from 2765 adolescents who were in grade 9 in Denmark at that time. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between the outcome variable of binge drinking and the exposure variables of alcohol-drinking peers, pocket money, and mother's/father's approval of intoxication. Results: The risk of binge drinking increased with the number of alcohol-drinking peers (trend test, p < .0001) and with the amount of pocket money spent (trend test, p < .0001. The association between the mother's approval of intoxication and binge drinking is complex. Boys had a higher risk of binge drinking (odds ratio, 2.2 [1.1-4.3]) if their mothers approved of their intoxication with alcohol; however, this association was not seen among girls (odds ratio, 1.0 [0.5-2.0]). There was no significant association between the father's approval of intoxication and binge drinking. Conclusion:The proportion of alcohol-drinking peers and the amount of pocket money spent appear to be determinants of adolescent binge drinking. The mother's approval of intoxication appears to be a determinant for binge drinking among boys but not among girls. The father's approval of intoxication does not appear to be a determinant of binge drinking.
