“…In contrast, density of off-premise alcohol outlets had no association with both current drinking and binge drinking. Previous studies have also found that on-and off-premise outlets are differently related to drinking behaviors (Astudillo et al, 2014;Connor et al, 2011;Kypri et al, 2008). The difference in drinking cultures and population characteristics may be the reason underlying the discrepancy across studies.…”

“…A third option is to restrict the number of alcohol outlets, especially the onpremise outlets. As stated before, evidence does suggest that reductions in availability of alcohol outlets can have significant impacts on drinking behavior and negative alcohol-related consequences (Astudillo et al, 2014;Huckle et al, 2008;Kuntsche et al, 2008;Kypri et al, 2008;Livingston et al, 2008). Other approaches could be to reduce the availability of social sources of alcohol, to put more control on the sale behavior, and to modify drinking norms.…”

“…Furthermore, the density of packaged liquor outlets was found to be significantly associated with very high-risk drinking in ------IJADR 5(2) ------Australia (Livingston, Laslett, & Dietze, 2008). A more recent study found a positive association between onpremise outlet density with heavy episodic drinking among young Swiss men in the southwest part of Switzerland (Astudillo, Kuendig, Centeno-Gil, Wicki, & Gmel, 2014). In contrast, a U.S.-based study found no relationship between alcohol outlet exposure by distance and density around resident's home and alcohol use (Pollack, Cubbin, Ahn, & Winkleby, 2005), and a study in New Zealand found no association between alcohol-outlet density and average alcohol consumption or risky drinking, although outlet density was positively associated with binge drinking (Connor et al, 2011).…”

A key issue in alcohol-related harm reduction is the impact of commercial and social availability on alcohol-related problems and harm among young people. The increasing density of alcohol outlets has been shown to be associated with harmful youth drinking behavior, although studies have produced mixed results, underlying the complexity of the situation.Aims: The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between density of alcohol outlets and drinking behaviors among vocational college students. Methods:A cross-sectional school-based survey was conducted among full-time students studying in vocational colleges in Phuket, Thailand. Multilevel regression models were used to assess the relationship between alcohol-outlet density and current and binge drinking, controlling for student and school characteristics.

The journal publishes both invited and unsolicited letters. LIQUOR LICENSING OR CONFOUNDING EVENTS? FURTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INTERPRETATIONS OF MENÉNDEZ ET AL. (2015) Menéndez et al. [1] examined the cumulative effect of a series of licensing restrictions that took place in New South Wales in 2008. The results are extremely encouraging, estimating a 31.27% reduction in actual bodily harm (ABH) and a 39.70% reduction in grievous bodily harm (GBH). However, questions remain about the extent to which these findings represent true intervention effects. Outcome selection and specification The title suggests that the authors examined the impact of licensing restrictions on 'alcohol-related' violence. However , the manuscript mentions only ABH and GBH. It is not clear whether these outcomes are 'alcohol-related' or how this is defined. Furthermore, it is unclear whether these events concern night-time assaults-as would be most appropriate-or all violent assault (a.m. and p.m.). If the latter, the estimated effect of licensing restrictions is a reduction of more than 30% of all violence, which raises the unanswered question: how can changes to night-time alcohol trading impact all violence to this degree? Declaration of interests None.

“…For an increase in price by 1 Swiss franc, for example, there was a decrease in the number of drinks by 10.8 % for people without AUD, 10.5 % for those with mild AUD, and 9.9 % for those with severe AUD. A multilevel analysis linked the individual level of drinking with the outlet density of communities (Astudillo, Kuendig, Centeno-Gil, Wicki, & Gmel, 2014). The density of on-premises outlets (bars or clubs where alcohol is sold for direct consumption), but not off-premise outlets (where alcohol is sold for consumption elsewhere), was associated with RSOD (having 6 drinks or more on a single occasion).…”

Abstract. Aim: To summarize published findings in peer-reviewed journals of the first two waves of the Swiss Cohort Study on Substance Use Risk Factors (C-SURF), a longitudinal study assessing risk and protective factors of 5,987 young men during the phase of emerging adulthood (20 years at baseline, followed-up 15 months later). Methods: Included were 33 studies published until November 2014 focusing on substance use. Results: Substance use in early adulthood is a prevalent and stable behavior. The 12-month prevalence of nonmedical use of prescription drugs (10.6 %) lies between that of cannabis (36.4 %) and other illicit drugs such as ecstasy (3.7 %) and cocaine (3.2 %). Although peer pressure in the form of misconduct is associated with increased substance use, other aspects such as peer involvement in social activities may have beneficial effects. Regular sport activities are associated with reduced substance use, with the exception of alcohol use. Young men are susceptible to structural conditions such as the price of alcohol beverages or the density of on-premise alcohol outlets. Particularly alcohol use in public settings such as bars, discos or in parks (compared with private settings such as the home) is associated with alcohol-related harm, including injuries or violence. Being a single parent versus nuclear family has no effect on alcohol use, but active parenting does. Besides parenting, religiousness is an important protective factor for both legal and illegal substance use. Merely informing young men about the risks of substance use may not be an effective preventive measure. At-risk users of licit and illicit substances are more health literate, e. g., for example, they seek out more information on the internet than non-at-risk-users or abstainers. Discussion: There are a number of risk and protective substance use factors, but their associations with substance use do not necessarily agree with those found outside Europe. In the United States, for example, heavy alcohol use in this age group commonly takes place in private settings, whereas in Switzerland it more often takes place in public settings. Other behaviors, such as the nonmedical use of prescription drugs, appear to be similar to those found overseas, which may show the need for targeted preventive actions. C-SURF findings point to the necessity of establishing European studies to identify factors for designing specific preventive actions.
