“…The global score ranges from 0 to 30. Participants were classified as: nonemotional eaters (scores of 0-5), low emotional eaters (scores of 6-10), emotional eaters (scores of [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and very emotional eaters (scores of 21-30) [32].…”

“…Moreover, the Mediterranean diet has beneficial effects on life expectance and quality of life [ 13 ]. On the other hand, alcohol often plays an essential role in young people’s lives when they start university, a consumption pattern that is characterized by large amounts being drunk in short periods of time following periods of abstinence, also known as binge drinking (intake of ≥4 alcoholic beverages in a short period of time) [ 14 ]. This excessive alcohol consumption deviates from the Mediterranean dietary pattern and has important health implications, increasing the risk of brain damage and neuropsychological repercussions; its long-term consequences on the risk of cancer are broadly described [ 15 , 16 ].…”

(1) Introduction: The university period may increase the risk of different unhealthy habits, such as low adherence to the Mediterranean diet, high alcohol consumption and eating in response to specific emotions. The aim of this study was to detect early-risk alcohol consumption and alcohol dependence (ADS), the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet and emotional eating in university students of the Madrid community. (2) Methods: For each individual, anthropometric parameters, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), AUDIT-Consumption (AUDIT-C), the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS) and the Emotional Eater Questionnaire (EEQ) were assessed. (3) Results: A total of 584 university students aged 20.5 (sex ratio = 0.39) were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. In total, 63.6% of students showed low adherence to the Mediterranean diet, with no differences by sex (64.3% female versus 61.5% male, p = 0.19). According to the AUDIT questionnaire, 26.2% of participants were categorized as high-risk drinkers and 7.7% as ADS. About 38.6% of the students were categorized as eating very emotionally or eating emotionally, and 37.2% were categorized as low emotional eaters. A weak positive correlation was observed between the EEQ and BMI in female students (rho= 0.15, p = 0.03). (4) Conclusions: University students in our sample showed a low adherence to the Mediterranean diet, an important high-risk alcohol consumption and low emotional eating.

“…Even though a single incident of binge drinking can lead to severe damage in the short term such as disruption of nervous system function. It may contribute to the development of alcohol use disorders in a long term (Lannoy et al, 2021). Ingested alcohol is absorbed and enters the blood circulation, with 90% ultimately metabolized by the liver (Tan et al, 2020).…”

Alcohol abuse is a major cause of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and can result in fibrosis and cirrhosis. γ-glutamylcysteine (γ-GC) is a precursor of glutathione (GSH) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Our research aimed to explore the protective impact of γ-GC on ALD and its potential mechanisms of efficiency in vitro and in vivo. L02 cells were pretreated with γ-GC (20, 40, and 80 μM) for 2 h and exposed to ethanol for 24 h. Cell viability, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory levels were measured. The expression of protein cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP and flow cytometry results indicated that γ-GC decreases apoptosis on L02 cells after ethanol treatment. Moreover, γ-GC also attenuated oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage in hepatocytes caused by ethanol via increasing cellular GSH, SOD activity, and mitochondrial membrane potential. In vivo experiments, γ-GC effectively reduced the AST, ALT, and TG levels in mice. The inflammation of ALD was alleviated by γ-GC both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, histopathological examination demonstrated that γ-GC treatment lessened lipid droplet formation and inflammatory damage. In conclusion, these results showed that γ-GC has anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects on ALD because it could help hepatocytes maintain sufficient GSH levels to combat the excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during ethanol metabolism. Practical applicationsAlcohol intake is the fifth highest risk factor for premature death and disability among all risk variables. However, few medicines are both safe and effective for the treatment of ALD. As a direct precursor of GSH, γ-GC has a broad variety of potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory applications for the treatment of numerous medical conditions. In conclusion, these results showed that γ-GC could protect cells from ALD via suppressing oxidative stress, alleviating inflammation, and preventing apoptosis.

“…3 This disorder is associated with binge drinking, a harmful risk behavior in which a person consumes more than four drinks on an occasion. 4 It was estimated that one in six adults in the United States binge drinks, with young adults aged 18 to 34 years being the majority. 5 Neuroimaging studies have extensively been performed over the years to understand AUD from neurological perspectives with findings demonstrating alterations of the brain structure and function in regions associated with control of impulsive or risky behaviors in binge drinkers.…”

“…Regardless of the purpose, excessive alcohol consumption may foster alcohol use disorders (AUD)—an abnormal pattern of episodic alcohol consumption leading to clinically significant impairment or distress 3 . This disorder is associated with binge drinking, a harmful risk behavior in which a person consumes more than four drinks on an occasion 4 . It was estimated that one in six adults in the United States binge drinks, with young adults aged 18 to 34 years being the majority 5 .…”
