Rehab News: Risky single occasion drinking as normative behaviour

A recently published study has concluded that among young men, risky single-occasion drinking RSOD constitutes the norm and therefore prevention measures must address the total population and not only high-risk drinkers.

The objectives of this study were to analyse (a) the distribution of risky single-occasion drinking (RSOD) among 19-year-old men in Switzerland and (b) to show the percentage of all alcohol consumption in the form of RSOD.

The study was based on a census of Swiss francophone 19-year-old men consecutively reporting for processing. The study was conducted at Army Recruitment Center. The participants were 4116 recruits consecutively enrolling for mandatory army recruitment procedures between 23 January and 29 August in 2007. The measures were alcohol consumption measured in drinks of 10 g of pure alcohol, number of drinking occasions with six or more drinks (RSOD) in the past 12 months and a retrospective 1 week drinking diary.

264 recruits were never seen by the research staff, 3,536 of the remaining 3,852 conscripts completed a questionnaire which showed that 7.2% abstained from alcohol and 75.5% of those drinking had an RSOD day at least monthly. The typical frequency of drinking was 13 days per week on weekends. The average quantity on weekends was about seven drinks, 69.3% of the total weekly consumption was in the form of RSOD days, and of all the alcohol consumed, 96.2% was by drinkers who had RSOD days at least once a month.

Study shows many falsely believe they can overcome alcohol problems on their own

New research has concluded that many young adults with alcohol problems shun seeking treatment in the belief that they can deal with their problems themselves, but in reality this belief is not matched by action.

A study published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry reports that 1,003 members of a birth cohort were interviewed at age 25 about the period since the previous interview at age 21.

A total of 351 of the study group reported alcohol problems over ...

Gender and friends may influence alcohol use

Young people are more likely to drink alcohol, smoke tobacco or use drugs if their friends engage in these behaviours, researchers have claimed.

US scientists looked at data from around 4,700 people to determine whether there were links between gender, friendships and alcohol use.

They found that girls may be more susceptible to their friends' drinking behaviours and that having opposite-sex friends who drink also led to an increase in drinking, both for males and females.

Kenneth Sher, curator's professor in University of Missouri's department of psychological sciences, said: "Those who design and implement prevention approaches should take gender into account as a potentially critical moderator of prevention outcomes.

"We need to better understand the 'why' of sex differences in risk in order to shed important light on the nature of risk processes."

Publishing their findings in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research, the authors suggest that parents should make themselves aware of their children's friends, particularly if the child is female or has friends of the opposite sex.
