“…No presente estudo o gênero não teve associação estatisticamente significativa com o beber em "binge drinking", corroborando com estudo de Guimarães et al (2022). No entanto, um estudo que avaliou o consumo excessivo de álcool em adolescentes brasileiros mostrou que as chances de consumo excessivo de álcool para as meninas foram 50% menores em comparação com os meninos (MEDEIROS et al, 2022). Historicamente o homem foi colocado em uma posição em que o consumo de álcool é uma expressão de masculinidade (DIR et al 2017).…”

Considera-se o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas a droga psicotrópica mais utilizada entre os jovens, tornando um problema de saúde pública, devido seu consumo iniciado cada vez mais precoce, e os riscos que esse consumo pode acarretar como aumento dos atendimentos emergenciais em unidades hospitalares, acidentes automobilísticos, maior possibilidade de uso de drogas ilegais, comportamento violento e pior desempenho escolar. O padrão de consumo excessivo de álcool, ou consumo episódico excessivo, conhecido como “binge drinking”, é um importante problema social e de saúde. A adolescência é cercada por muitas descobertas e, sobretudo, ao início do consumo de substâncias psicoativas, como o álcool, que transcorrem normalmente em contexto de socialização sem monitoramento de um adulto. Buscando identificar possíveis fatores que possam contribuir para a proteção desse público ao consumo de bebidas alcoólicas o objetivo investigar a associação da religiosidade e outros fatores epidemiológicos no beber em “binge” por adolescentes de 14 anos de idade. A taxa de prevalência de consumo em “binge” de álcool foi de 30,1% (n = 177). Pela análise bivariada verificou-se que estudantes que relataram não consumir bebidas alcoólicas em “binge” estiveram associados com maior escolaridade materna (p = 0,04), participação em atividades religiosas (p = 0,026), realização de oração nos últimos 6 meses (p = 0,007) e considerarem importante ter uma religião (p = 0,003).

“…Binge drinking (BD) ethanol (EtOH) consumption is clearly defined as an acute pattern of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to ≥0.08 g/dL (0.08%), during a short period of time 1 . BD is the main EtOH consumption method chosen by teenagers, 2,3 being particularly harmful since adolescents are very vulnerable to the toxic effects of EtOH, and this acute consumption pattern is drastically pro‐oxidant 4 . Therefore, BD consumption leads to specific biological effects since in its tissue metabolism increases CYP2E1 activity resulting in high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) 5 .…”

Binge drinking (BD) is an especially pro‐oxidant pattern of alcohol consumption, particularly widespread in the adolescent population. In the kidneys, it affects the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to high blood pressure. BD exposure also disrupts folic acid (FA) homeostasis and its antioxidant properties. The aim of this study is to test a FA supplementation as an effective therapy against the oxidative, nitrosative, and apoptotic damage as well as the renal function alteration occurred after BD in adolescence. Four groups of adolescent rats were used: control, BD (exposed to intraperitoneal alcohol), control FA‐supplemented group and BD FA‐supplemented group. Dietary FA content in control groups was 2 ppm, and 8 ppm in supplemented groups. BD provoked an oxidative imbalance in the kidneys by dysregulating antioxidant enzymes and increasing the enzyme NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), which led to an increase in caspase‐9. BD also altered the renal nitrosative status affecting the expression of the three nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) isoforms, leading to a decrease in NO levels. Functionally, BD produced a hydric‐electrolytic imbalance, a low GFR and an increase in blood pressure. FA supplementation to BD adolescent rats improved the oxidative, nitrosative, and apoptotic balance, recovering the hydric‐electrolytic equilibrium and blood pressure. However, neither NO levels nor GFR were recovered, showing in this study for the first time that NO availability in the kidneys plays a crucial role in GFR regulation that the antioxidant effects of FA cannot repair.

Background The prevalence of tobacco and alcohol use among adolescents is alarming, and these substances are among the leading risk factors for current and future health among adolescents. Physical activity has the potential to help prevent substance use among adolescents. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between physical activity, modes of transportation to or from school, and sitting time with tobacco and alcohol use among 222,495 adolescents. Methods This cross-sectional study used data from national surveys conducted in 66 countries, obtained through the Global School-based Student Health Survey, and included adolescents aged 11 to 17 years. Information on physical activity, transportation to or from school, sitting time, and tobacco and alcohol use was collected through self-report questionnaires. Generalized linear models were employed to estimate the associations between these variables. Results The analysis, adjusted for sex, age, and region, revealed that being physically active was associated with lower odds of smoking (OR: 0.86, 95%CI: 0.83–0.89), alcohol use (OR: 0.74, 95%CI: 0.72–0.76), binge drinking (OR: 0.66, 95%CI: 0.62–0.69), and drunkenness (OR: 0.85, 95%CI: 0.83–0.88) compared to inactivity. Insufficiently active participants also had lower odds of tobacco use (OR: 0.83, 95%CI: 0.80–0.85), alcohol use (OR: 0.77, 95%CI: 0.75–0.79), binge drinking (OR: 0.91, 95%CI: 0.87–0.96), and drunkenness (OR: 0.88, 95%CI: 0.85–0.90) compared to inactive participants. Additionally, active transportation to or from school was associated with lower odds of tobacco use (OR: 0.97, 95%CI: 0.95–0.99), alcohol use (OR: 0.94, 95%CI: 0.92–0.96), and binge drinking (OR: 0.78, 95%CI: 0.75–0.81) compared to those using passive transportation. Participants with acceptable sitting time, however, were more likely to use tobacco (OR: 1.48, 95%CI: 1.45–1.52), use alcohol (OR: 1.68, 95%CI: 1.64–1.72), binge drink (OR: 1.68, 95%CI: 1.62–1.75), and experience drunkenness (OR: 1.66, 95%CI: 1.62–1.69) compared to those with excessive sitting time. Conclusion Being physically active, even at insufficient levels, may have beneficial effects on tobacco and alcohol use in adolescents. Acceptable sedentary time, on the other hand, was positively associated with tobacco and alcohol use.
