“…Research on alcohol use and tobacco use among girls and young women has also explored how substances may be used to transcend and contest certain femininities. For example, a study conducted in Spain describes how female adolescents use alcohol in public spaces as a way of challenging social expectations regarding femininity that have typically restricted their use of public space and substances [52]. Similarly, qualitative research reveals that young women can frame their alcohol [53] and tobacco use [54] as a form of rebellion against traditional gender roles.…”

Currently, boys and men use cannabis at higher rates than girls and women, but the gender gap is narrowing. With the legalization of recreational cannabis use in Canada and in multiple US states, these trends call for urgent attention to the need to consider how gender norms, roles and relations influence patterns of cannabis use to inform health promotion and prevention responses. Based on a scoping review on sex, gender and cannabis use, this article consolidates existing evidence from the academic literature on how gender norms, roles and relations impact cannabis-use patterns. Evidence is reviewed on: adherence to dominant masculine and feminine norms and cannabis-use patterns among adolescents and young adults, and how prevailing norms can be both reinstated or reimagined through cannabis use; gendered social dynamics in cannabis-use settings; and the impact of gender roles and relations on cannabis use among young adults of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. Findings from the review are compared and contrasted with evidence on gender norms, roles and relations in the context of alcohol and tobacco use. Recommendations for integrating gender transformative principles in health promotion and prevention responses to cannabis use are provided.

“…The inclusion of gender perspective and relations also entails looking from the perspective of masculinities, particularly in behaviours that are socially considered as masculine, such as alcohol abuse (Connell, 1995). Alcohol consumption and intoxication have traditionally been considered male behaviours and women continue to be confronted with greater social prejudices than men for their consumption of alcohol, drunkenness, appearance and expression of their sexuality in the milieus of consumption (Atkinson & Sumnall, 2017;Griffin et al, 2013;Hunt & Antin, 2017;Hutton Griffin, Lyons, Niland, & McCreanor, 2016;Nicholls, 2016;Romo-Avil es et al, 2016b).…”

The practice of binge drinking has in recent decades consolidated what is known as the 'culture of intoxication' among the young people of Spain. This has coincided with the increase in the use of mobile-phone technology and of social networks within the night-time economy. Our main aim is to explore these new, potentially risky uses and violent behaviours, through an analysis of the discourses of the young people involved. This is a qualitative study with in-depth interviews (n ¼ 24) of young people between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two, resident in two cities in the south of Spain: Granada and Seville. Findings: our results show that gender violence is present in the contexts where alcohol is consumed intensively and is related to the use of the mobile phone in interpersonal or couple relationships. This violence is practiced mainly against the women, who suffer sexual harassment and violation of their public image through information and communication technologies. Our data show that prevention should consider the new vulnerabilities that are generated out of the problematic association between technology and alcohol, using innovative strategies that are adapted to the new patterns of youth behaviour.

“…In Spain, both these behaviours have been associated with a phenomenon called Botellón, a more prevalent drinking event amongst the adolescent population, consisting of drinking alcohol excessively in public places during weekend nights (Donath et al, 2011;Parada et al, 2011;Romo-Avilés, Marcos-Marcos, Marquina-Márquez, Tarragona-Camacho & Gil-García, 2016a), using it as a synonym for intoxicationoriented drinking (Guise & Gill, 2007). Around 51.3% of adolescents between 14 and 18 years old engaged in a Botellón in the last 12 months (ESTUDES, 2019).…”

“…According to the I-Change Model, a person's motivation and behaviour can be influenced by predisposing factors and information factors (de Vries et al, 2003;de Vries, 2017). Predisposing factors are, for instance, the socio-cultural environment where alcohol consumption is regarded as acceptable or is encouraged (Anderson, Møller, & Galea, 2012;Romo-Avilés et al, 2016a). Alcohol consumption has become endemic and part of people's social and cultural life, resulting in a great social permissiveness and low perception of its risks, with easy access and insufficiently restrictive legislation (Espada, Griffin, Pereira, Orgilés & García-Fernández, 2012;Jander et al, 2013;Romo-Avilés et al, 2016a;ESTUDES, 2018).…”

In Spain, over the last few decades, important changes have occurred regarding the amount of ingested alcohol and the drinking patterns, particularly in the adolescent and the young adult population (de la Villa, Rodríguez & Ovejero, 2010;Parada et al, 2011).…”
