“…Similarly, among the factors contributing to problem drinking in human adolescents is a family history of alcoholism. For instance, adolescents with a family history of alcoholism were more likely to exhibit elevated alcohol drinking (whether adolescent-limited or escalating beyond adolescence) than to be placed in a "no or low problem" group (Warner et al, 2007). It is possible that the use of outbred rats as in the present study may not have modeled problematic patterns of adolescent alcohol drinking sufficiently to have resulted in the maintenance or escalation of high levels of alcohol intake into adulthood.…”

Background-Adolescence is a period of elevated alcohol consumption in humans as well as in animal models. Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that adolescent Sprague-Dawley rats consume approximately 2 times more ethanol on a gram per kilogram basis than adult animals in a 2-bottle choice free-access situation. The purpose of the present study was to examine the time course and pattern of elevated ethanol intake during adolescence and the adolescent-to-adult transition, contrast this intake with ontogenetic patterns of food and water intake, and determine whether adolescent access to ethanol elevates voluntary consumption of ethanol in adulthood.

“…Early onset puts children at higher risk for future problematic levels of use of alcohol (Pitkänen et al, 2008;Warner et al, 2007)-as well as other negative consequences (Griffi n et al, 2010)-and is thus a matter of public health signifi cance. It may be important to identify children of polysubstance-using parents for targeted prevention programs and to identify children of substanceusing mothers regardless of father's use levels.…”

“…Thus, there may be an additional risk for onset of alcohol use in offspring (which typically begins before marijuana and other illicit drugs; Kandel, 2002) from parental use of tobacco and marijuana. Understanding such risk is a crucial issue because early onset predicts later problematic use in adulthood (Pitkänen al., 2008;Warner et al, 2007). The present study examines whether use of tobacco and marijuana by fathers or mothers predicts onset of alcohol use in their offspring over and above effects of parental alcohol use.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study examined whether the use of tobacco and marijuana by fathers or mothers predicted onset of alcohol use in their offspring over and above effects of parental alcohol use. Method: The present study included 146 children of 93 parents (90 fathers and 85 mothers). The fathers were originally recruited as boys to the Oregon Youth Study, a study of community, familial, and individual risk factors for delinquency. Results: Only mothers' but not fathers' alcohol use was associated with children's age at onset. Children's age at onset was predicted by mothers' tobacco use and by the interaction of fathers' marijuana use and alcohol use. These effects were observed when controlling for parental education, child's gender, and also child's antisocial behavior-a general developmental risk factor for substance use onset in adolescence. Conclusions: Mothers' substance use played a major role in childhood onset of alcohol use, yet the role of maternal substance use as a risk factor for their children has previously received less attention than the role of paternal substance use. Also, fi ndings imply that it may be important to identify children of polysubstance-using parents for targeted prevention programs. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 77, 95-103, 2016)

Survey of alcohol-related presentations to Australasian emergency departments

et al. 2014

Objective: To determine the proportion of alcohol‐related presentations to emergency departments (EDs) in Australia and New Zealand, at a single time point on a weekend night shift. Design, setting and participants: A point prevalence survey of ED patients either waiting to be seen or currently being seen conducted at 02:00 local time on 14 December 2013 in 106 EDs in Australia and New Zealand. Main outcome measures: The number of ED presentations that were alcohol‐related, defined using World Health Organization ICD‐10 codes. Results: At the 106 hospitals (92 Australia, 14 New Zealand) that provided data, 395 (14.3%; 95% CI, 13.0%–15.6%) of 2766 patients in EDs at the study time were presenting for alcohol‐related reasons; 13.8% (95% CI, 12.5%–15.2%) in Australia and 17.9% (95% CI, 13.9%–22.8%) in New Zealand. The distribution was skewed left, with proportions ranging from 0 to 50% and a median of 12.5%. Nine Australian hospitals and one New Zealand hospital reported that more than a third of their ED patients had alcohol‐related presentations; the Northern Territory (38.1%) and Western Australia (21.1%) reported the highest proportions of alcohol‐related presentations. Conclusions: One in seven ED presentations in Australian and New Zealand at this 02:00 snapshot were alcohol‐related, with some EDs seeing more than one in three alcohol‐related presentations. This confirms that alcohol‐related presentations to EDs are currently underreported and makes a strong case for public health initiatives.
