“…Some of the voice parameters are pitch, loudness, timbre, resonance, and range. Pitch is a person's voice's perceived lowness or highness [8]. The resolution is based on vocal cord vibrations' hertz (Hz) frequency.…”

Alcohol consumption can lead to vocal health risks and long-term health issues for individuals. The paper introduces a novel dataset that analyzes vowel vocalizations to detect early alcohol consumption. This study examines hidden parameters in vowel sounds, such as frequency, jitters, shimmer, and harmonic ratio, which can identify individuals who consume alcohol. It aims to identify subtle vocal patterns that serve as markers for alcohol consumption. This study analyzed 509 vowel vocalizations from 290 records of 46 alcohol-consuming individuals and 219 non-drinkers aged 22-34. The study used intelligent machine learning models and Incremental Hidden Layer Neurons Artificial Neural Networks (IHLN-ANNs) with Back-propagation to identify patterns indicative of alcohol consumption. The Random Forest (RF) model achieved 95.3% accuracy, while the BP-ANNs model showed 99.4% accuracy with five neurons in a hidden layer. The findings could be applied to developing smartphone applications to provide timely alerts and cautionary measures for alcohol consumption, reducing accident risks. The study highlights voice analysis's potential as a non-invasive and cost-effective tool for identifying alcohol consumers, offering potential avenues for future public health initiatives.

Alcohol consumption can have impacts on the voice, and excessive consumption can lead to long-term damage to the vocal cords. A new procedure to automatically detect alcohol drinkers using vowel vocalizations is an earlier and lower-cost method than other alcohol drinker-detecting models and equipment. The hidden parameters of vowel sounds (such as frequency, jitter, shimmer, harmonic ratio, etc.) are significant for recognizing individuals who drink or do not drink. In this research, we analyze 509 multiple vocalizations of the vowels (/a, /e, /i, /o, and /u) from 290 multiple records of 46 drinkers and 219 multiple records of 38 non-drinkers. The age group is 22 to 34 years. Apply the 10-fold cross-validation vowelized dataset on intelligent machine learning models and incremental hidden layer neurons of artificial neural networks (IHLN-ANNs) with backpropagation. The findings showed that experimental ML models such as Naïve Bayes (NB), Random Forest (RF), k-NN, SVM, and C4.5 (Tree) performed well. The RF model performed best, with 95.3% accuracy. We also applied the incremental hidden layer (HL) neurons BP-ANNs model (from 2 to 5). In this analysis, accuracy increased proportionally with the incremental neurons (2–5) in the HL of the ANN. At the moment of 5 neurons HL ANN, the model performed with a highly accurate 99.4% without an over-fit problem. It will implement smartphone apps for caution and alerts for alcohol consumers to avoid accidents. Voice analysis has been explored as a non-invasive and cost-effective means of identifying alcohol consumers.
