“…The most common metrics to measure alcohol use in the literature are volume consumed or symptoms of AUD (or meeting criteria for AUD). These two indices are linked, at least at the extreme poles of both (Rehm et al, 2013) but may indicate substantially differing alcohol syndromes, with equally different trajectories (Boden et al, 2019) as is the case with other metrics of early life use of alcohol (Newton-Howes et al, 2019). Understanding both symptoms and volumes in adolescent use may enable differing prognostic outcomes to be identified.…”

Objective: To examine the consequences of alcohol consumption and symptoms of alcohol use disorder during adolescence and later adulthood psychopathology and social outcomes. Methods: A longitudinal, prospective birth cohort study, the Christchurch Health and Development Study, was examined across a 35-year period. We estimated the associations between two measures of adolescent alcohol use (volume of alcohol consumed and symptoms of alcohol use disorder) and two later internalising disorders, externalising psychopathology measured by substance use disorders and psychosocial outcomes in adulthood, adjusting for individual and family factors from childhood. Results: The pattern of results indicates alcohol symptoms predict internalising disorder in adulthood. Volume of alcohol used in adolescence predicted adult substance use disorders, lower educational attainment and higher risk of welfare benefit receipt in adulthood in fully adjusted models. Conclusion: Early consumption of larger volumes of alcohol led to continuation of this pattern in adult life with resulting poorer educational achievement, increased welfare benefit receipt and substance use disorders. Early symptoms of alcohol use disorder, however, led to increased adult levels of mental health disorders. This relationship persisted within a 20-year study period and after adjustment for statistically significant covariate factors. The study shows that early patterns of alcohol use have a direct and specific impact upon adult outcomes.

“…A number of classic studies have shown that the risk of alcoholism runs in families (Anda et al, 2002;Cotton, 1979;Schuckit & Smith, 1996;Sher et al, 1991). More recent studies have corroborated these findings and extended them to a range of patterns of drinking, including drinking and intoxication frequency and Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) scores (Boden et al, 2019;Kendler, Ji et al, 2015;Mahedy et al, 2018;McGovern et al, 2023;). However, the existing studies on the association of parental alcohol use with alcohol use of their children focus on adolescence and the early twenties, and whether these associations extend to later adulthood is uncertain (Mahedy et al, 2018;.…”

Paternal and Maternal Problem Drinking and Lifetime Problem Drinking of Their Adult Children

et al. 2023

Parents’ alcohol use is associated with alcohol use of their adolescent offspring, but does this association extend to the adulthood of the offspring? We examined associations of paternal and maternal problem drinking with lifetime problem drinking of their adult offspring prospectively assessed in a population-based Finnish twin-family cohort (FinnTwin16). Problem drinking (Malmö-modified Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test) was self-reported separately by mothers and fathers when their children were 16. The children reported on an extended lifetime version of the same measure during their mid-twenties (21-28 years) and mid-thirties (31-37 years). 1235 sons and 1461 daughters in mid-twenties and 991 sons and 1278 daughters in mid-thirties had complete data. Correlations between fathers’ and their adult children’s problem drinking ranged from .12 to .18. For mothers and their adult children, these correlations ranged from .09 to .14. In multivariate models, adjustment for potential confounders had little effect on the observed associations. In this study, parental problem drinking was modestly associated with lifetime problem drinking of their adult children. This association could be detected even when the children had reached the fourth decade of life.

“…Excessive alcohol use accounts for over a quarter of deaths among U.S. young adults [ 1 ], and over one-third of 12th graders report past-month alcohol use [ 2 ]. Adolescents who drink alcohol before age 15 are six times more likely to develop alcohol use disorder later in life compared to those who wait until the legal drinking age of 21 [ 3 , 4 ]. Alcohol expectancies are personal beliefs about behavioral, emotional, and/or cognitive effects that will occur when drinking alcohol [ 5 ].…”

Problematic social media use and alcohol expectancies in early adolescents

et al. 2023

Background Alcohol expectancies are beliefs regarding positive (e.g., tension reduction) or negative (e.g., loss of motor coordination) effects of alcohol. Based on Social Learning Theory, social media can influence alcohol expectancies in adolescents. In particular, problematic social media use – which can reflect elements of addiction, including mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict, and relapse – could be linked to alcohol expectancies. We aimed to determine the associations between problematic social media use and alcohol expectancies in a national (U.S.) cohort of 10-14-year-old early adolescents. Methods We analyzed cross-sectional data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study (N = 9,008) at the Year 2 assessment (2018–2020). Unadjusted and adjusted linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between problematic social media use and alcohol expectancies (positive and negative), adjusting for race/ethnicity, sex, household income, parent education, sexual orientation, parental marital status, and study site. Furthermore, we computed marginal predicted probabilities to aid in interpreting findings. Results The sample was 48.7% female and racially and ethnically diverse (43.0% non-White), with a mean age of 12.02 ± 0.66 years old. In models adjusted for confounders including both time spent on social media and problematic social media use, time spent on social media was not associated with positive or negative alcohol expectancies, but higher problematic social media use score was associated with higher positive (B = 0.045, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.020–0.069) and negative (B = 0.072, 95% CI 0.043–0.101) alcohol expectancies scores. Conclusion Problematic social media use was associated with both positive and negative alcohol expectancies in a demographically diverse national sample of early adolescents in the U.S. Given the small effect sizes of the current study, future studies should further examine these relationships prospectively, as well as the mechanisms linking problematic social media use to alcohol expectancies and alcohol consumption. Because alcohol expectancies are modifiable and linked with alcohol initiation, they could be a target for future prevention efforts.
