“…Given the clear importance of tolerance to sleep effects as a mechanism for the development of abusive drinking (Conroy and Brower 2011), the lack of consistent results from the small number of studies and of subjects evaluated provides a clear argument for more work to be done to investigate the effects of repeated administration of alcohol on sleep.…”

Alcohol acts as a sedative that interacts with several neurotransmitter systems important in the regulation of sleep. Acute administration of large amounts of alcohol prior to sleep leads to decreased sleep onset latency and changes in sleep architecture early in the night, when blood alcohol levels are high, with subsequent disrupted, poor quality sleep later in the night. Alcohol abuse and dependence are associated with chronic sleep disturbance, lower slow wave sleep, and more rapid eye movement sleep than normal, that last long into periods of abstinence and may play a role in relapse. The chapter outlines the evidence for acute and chronic alcohol effects on sleep architecture and sleep EEG, evidence for tolerance with repeated administration, and possible underlying neurochemical mechanisms for alcohol’s effects on sleep. Also discussed are sex differences as well as effects of alcohol on sleep homeostasis and circadian regulation. Evidence for the role of sleep disruption as a risk factor for developing alcohol dependence is discussed in the context of research conducted in adolescents. The utility of sleep evoked potentials in the assessment of the effects of alcoholism on sleep and the brain and in abstinence-mediated recovery is also outlined. The chapter concludes with a series of questions that need to be answered to determine the role of sleep and sleep disturbance in the development and maintenance of problem drinking and the potential beneficial effects of the treatment of sleep disorders for maintenance of abstinence in alcoholism.

“…In two traditional formal rituals, such as the Manuan ompu-ompu Ceremony and the Manulangi Ceremony, Tuak utilizes a typical drink. 4 Anxiety and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are both very prevalent disorders with diverse clinical presentations. Clinicians must have a thorough grasp of the genesis and course of these two diseases to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment strategy.…”

Background : In Indonesia, particularly among Bataknees men in Medan, tuak has been known as a staple, enjoyed by mostly men to strengthen their brotherhood. Concurrent Anxiety Disorders and Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) are relatively common and closely related to the presentation of complex clinical symptoms that warrant an appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Method : Sixty tuak drinkers from 4 districts of Medan were recruited by using a cluster sampling method. Participants aged 25-55 years old with inclusion criteria were Batak men who drank Tuak, minimum education by completing junior high school and history of drinking tuak took less than 12 months, and AUDIT cutoff value less than or equal to 7. This study's exclusion criteria were no history of psychiatric and general health disorders in the subject. Result : The results of this study found a significant relationship between the HADS-A score and the AUDIT total score. Also found a significant relationship between the drinking frequency score, the drinking quantity score, the frequency score of heavy drinking, and the HADS-A score. Conclusion : The results of this study are essential evidence to promote mental health in the future, especially in the city of Medan.
