“…In another study, anxiety and depression have been associated with 1.5 times more probability to alcohol abuse and 2.5 times to alcohol dependence 18 . A similar study found the same results in addition to the finding of PTSD to be related to two times higher probability of alcohol use disorder incidence 20 . Also, there is evidence of the association between increasing alcohol use and the worsening of mental health 21 .…”

The COVID-19 outbreak affected mental health globally. One of the major concerns following the COVID-19 pandemic was increased incidence of risky behaviors including alcohol consumption. This study evaluates the trend of alcohol poisoning in Loghman-Hakim Hospital (LHH), the main referral center of poisoning in Tehran, during the 2-year period from 1 year prior to 1 year after the onset (February 23rd, 2020) of the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran. All patients admitted with alcohol intoxication from February 23rd, 2019 to February 22nd, 2021 were evaluated and patient data extracted from LHH electronic hospital records. Alcohols were categorized as toxic (methyl alcohol) and non-toxic (ethyl alcohol). Of 2483 patients admitted, 796/14,493 (5.49%) and 1687/13,883 (12.15%) had been hospitalized before and after the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran, respectively. In total, 140 patients did not survive, of whom 131 (93.6%) were confirmed to have methanol intoxication. Mortality was significantly higher during the outbreak (127 vs 13; P < 0.001; OR: 4.90; CI 95%: 2.75 to 8.73). Among the patients, 503 were younger than age 20. Trend of alcohol intoxication showed increases in children (57 vs 17) and adolescents (246 vs 183) when compared before and after the COVID-19 epidemic outbreak. A total of 955 patients were diagnosed with methanol toxicity which occurred more frequently during the COVID-19 era (877 vs 78; P < 0.001; OR: 10.00; CI 95%: 7.75 to12.82). Interrupted time series analysis (April 2016–February 2021) showed that in the first month of the COVID-19 epidemic (March 2020), there was a significant increase in the alcohol intoxication rate by 13.76% (P < 0.02, CI = [2.42–24.91]). The trend of alcohol intoxication as well as resulting mortality increased in all age groups during the COVID-19 epidemic in Iran, indicating urgent need for the prevention of high-risk alcohol use as well as improved treatment.

“…The link between mental health problems (particularly anxiety and depression) and alcohol use, though complicated, has been well established outside the postnatal period [33][34][35] . Several studies have also examined correlates of postpartum depression, with alcohol use in pregnancy being cited as a contributing factor [21] ; however, research on the reverse association (i.e., whether anxiety and/or depression are risk factors for postpartum alcohol use) is scarce.…”

BACKGROUND: Being a mother of a young child may be protective against problematic drinking behaviours for some, but not all, women. This paper sought to identify the sociodemographic, mental health, and drinking motive-related correlates of problematic drinking among postpartum mothers. METHODS: Australian mothers with a child under 12-months of age (n=319) were recruited via social media to complete a cross-sectional online survey. Two logistic regressions were run to examine unique factors associated with heavy episodic drinking (one or more days with ≥5 standard drinks) and hazardous alcohol use (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test score ≥8) among postpartum mothers, including sociodemographic variables (i.e., age, education, employment, income, relationship status, family size, months postpartum, breastfeeding status, and perceived social support), anxiety and depression severity, and drinking motives.RESULTS: One in 10 (11.6%) mothers reported heavy episodic drinking in the past months and 1 in 12 (8.5%) were drinking at hazardous or greater levels. Older age and more severe postpartum anxiety were associated with higher likelihood of hazardous drinking (OR=1.37, OR=1.09, respectively), while breastfeeding was associated with lower odds of heavy episodic drinking (OR=0.29). Greater perceived social support was associated with lower odds of both heavy episodic (OR=0.56) and hazardous drinking (OR=0.39), while higher coping-with-anxiety and social drinking motives were associated with greater odds of both of these problematic drinking behaviours (ORs ranged from 3.51 to 10.40). Conformity drinking motives were negatively associated with heavy episodic drinking (OR=0.24). CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight the importance of screening for alcohol problems by health professionals during the transition to motherhood, to identify mothers who may need additional support and preventative care.

“…Alcohol, tobacco, and coffee are the most commonly used substances in the general population, and consumption is often initiated during adolescence 1,2 . Previous research has indicated a link between use of these substances and mood disorders, though alcohol and tobacco have been subject to more investigations than coffee 3–9 . Epidemiological prospective associations have been mostly studied for major depression (MD), 3,7 while bipolar disorder (BP), which is characterized by manic or hypomanic episodes and is often chronic, is far less studied 6 .…”

Introduction Alcohol, tobacco and coffee are commonly used substances and use in adolescence has previously been linked to mood disorders. However, few large prospective studies have investigated adolescent use in relation to mental health outcomes in adulthood. The main aim of this study was to examine the prospective associations between alcohol use, cigarette smoking and coffee consumption at age 16 and subsequent mood disorders up to 33 years of age. Methods Data from The Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 Study were used and a total of 7660 participants (49.9% male) were included. Associations between alcohol use, cigarette smoking and coffee consumption at age 16 and later diagnoses of major depression and bipolar disorder were examined using multinomial logistic regression analyses. Results Mean number of cigarettes/day (OR, 1.23 [95% CI 1.01–1.50]) and mean volume of alcohol consumption (OR, 1.22 [95% CI 1.01–1.47]), but not frequency of excessive drinking, in adolescence were associated with increased risk for subsequent bipolar disorder after adjustment for sex, parental psychiatric disorders, family structure, illicit substance use, and emotional and behavioral problems at age 16. An association between cigarette smoking and major depression attenuated to statistically non‐significant when adjusted for emotional and behavioral problems. No associations were observed between adolescent coffee consumption and subsequent mood disorders. Conclusions This is the first study to report an association of adolescent cigarette smoking and subsequent bipolar disorder diagnosis providing grounds for further research and pointing to a place for preventive measures among adolescents.
