“…The two dynamics analysed – internationalisation and increase in consumption – have shed light on the need to adhere to CSR models aimed to consolidate increasingly sustainable management and consumption models (Corsini et al , 2019). This is even more relevant if we consider that young people are the principal consumers of the beer product, which is their favourite drink, compared to all the other alcohol drinks available on the market (ISTAT, 2018; Jaworski and Fabisiak, 2018). The companies of this sector have greatly improved their communication towards consumers, by introducing the responsible drinking brands, which are analysed in the present research.…”

PurposeThe excessive consumption of alcohol in numerous countries in the world, combined with the progressively younger age of the consumers, made it necessary for companies to use instruments of communication aimed at the development of consumption responsibility, so as to prevent reckless behaviour and the health risks thereto associated. The purpose of this paper is to assess the visibility and effectiveness of responsible consumption messages used for the sale of the product “beer” (on packaging and in advertisements); the study used a sample audience made up of teenagers and young adults from southern Italy.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology used was that of the focus group. Three interview sessions were conducted, one dedicated to teenagers, age 16–17 years, and two dedicated to young adult panels, age 20–24 years. A ten-question questionnaire was designed prior to the conduction of the focus groups, and it was used in all the sessions.FindingsThe study shows the weak efficacy of the “drink responsibly” communication campaigns carried out by beer manufacturers. The totality of the interviewees failed to remember the existence of the “drink responsibly” messages and, even after supplementary visual stimulation, they were mostly disinterested, defining the fact that companies from the alcoholic drinks industry carry out consumption awareness campaigns as an out-and-out nonsensical contradiction.Originality/valueThe survey draws attention to the perception by young audiences of the more recent “drink responsibly” communication campaigns carried out by beer manufacturers, aiming at encouraging a more responsible attitude to alcohol consumption. There still are not many such inquests aimed at determining the response of young people to the use of slogans and commercials connected to responsible drinking in the literature; therefore, this study aimed at filling this gap. In fact, the authors believe this study is important for assessing the effectiveness of such instruments for achieving greater responsibility in the use of alcoholic drinks, so as to develop better awareness in the ranks of youths. Among the new communication strategies that were proposed to the participants, there were video commercials containing responsible consumption messages and the new prohibition marks placed directly on the product labels.

“…Women were more likely to follow a reduction diet, while the frequency of dietary restrictions was similar in both analysed groups. Approximately 30% of women and about 22% of men declared the occurrence of dietary restrictions before planned evening alcohol consumption in the last 12 months [12]. Higher values for the prevalence of drunkorexia were observed among Australian female undergraduate students [13].…”

“…Similar results were obtained by Giles et al [11] -African-American students used dietary restrictions the least frequently, while half of the Greek students declared the use of restrictions on days when they planned to drink alcohol. Jaworski and Fabisiak [12] investigated the frequency of dietary restrictions before planned alcohol consumption among secondary school students. Their study showed that almost 80% of the subjects, regardless of gender, consumed alcohol in the past 12 months.…”

Zaburzeniom odżywiania często towarzyszy brak umiejętności radzenia sobie z emocjami. Alkoreksja jest zjawiskiem, które występuje głównie wśród grupy studentów. Zaburzenie to charakteryzuje się występowaniem znacznych restrykcji żywieniowych oraz nadmiernej aktywności fizycznej celem możliwości spożycia większej ilości alkoholu bez obawy o przyrost masy ciała. Jej podstawy upatruje się w presji rówieśników, popularyzowaniu szczupłej sylwetki oraz chęci zwiększenia stanu odurzenia. Kobiety częściej zgłaszają występowanie drunkoreksji wraz z występowaniem innych zaburzeń odżywiania. Jak każde zaburzenia odżywiania, alkoreksja może prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji zdrowotnych, lecz także zwiększenia ryzyka przemocy, napaści na tle seksualnym i wypadków samochodowych. Drunkoreksja wymaga leczenia uzależnienia alkoholu oraz korekty nieodpowiednich nawyków żywieniowych. Alkoreksja jest terminem stosunkowo nowym i wymaga opracowania kryteriów rozpoznania oraz strategii pomocy osobom zmagającym się z tym zaburzeniem. Należy odróżnić alkoreksję od choroby alkoholowej i innych zaburzeń odżywiania. Konieczne jest szerzenie wiedzy na temat tego typu zachowań, ich konsekwencji oraz edukacja w zakresie radzenia sobie ze stresem.
