“…These data, of course, add further support to the relationship between smoking and coffee consumption. In addition, they demonstrate, consistent with previous research (Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program, 1972;Hrubec, 1973;C. Thomas, 1973), that nonsmokers with histories of past smoking continue to report higher levels of coffee consumption than nonsmokers who have never smoked regularly.…”

“…The Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program (1972) similarly reported that coffee drinking, but not smoking, was associated with the occurrence of myocardial infarction. However, Hrubec (1973) found a positive relationship between myocardial infarction and coffee drinking only among respondents in the highest cigarette consumption category, and Dawber et al (1974) discovered that increased mortality associated with coffee consumption could be accounted for by the relationship between cigarette smoking and coffee consumption. In addition, Friedman et al (1974) failed to find that coffee consumption, in combination with tobacco use, contributed to the development of peptic ulcer.…”

“…Thus, among current nonsmokers, those who formerly smoked consume more alcohol than those who never smoked regularly (Cummins et al, 1981;Friberg et al, 1973;C. Thomas, 1973) and also drink more coffee than lifetime nonsmokers (Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program, 1972;Hrubec, 1973;C. Thomas, 1973).…”

“…In addition, these investigators found that coffee and tea consumption, but not cigarette smoking, were positively related to VPB in an electrocardiogram. Hrubec (1973) studied the relationship between coffee consumption, cigarette smoking, and cardiovascular disorder. In this case, however, the investigation focused on reports of angina pectoris.…”

Research on the co-occurrence of tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine consumption habits is reviewed. Evidence to date indicates that, among each of the three possible pairs of relationships of these three substances, alcohol and tobacco use and tobacco and caffeine use are moderately to strongly related, and caffeine and alcohol use weakly related. We found no studies that examined the concurrent use of all three substances. The need for improved methods of assessing substance use and research examining health-risk behaviors as interrelated clusters is emphasized, and mechanisms that might account for these interrelationships are discussed.

“…Specifically, our smokers and ex-smokers reported drinking more alcohol and coffee than nonsmokers. Previous studies also have shown that among current nonsmokers, those who had formerly smoked consumed more alcohol (e.g., Friberg et al, 1973) and coffee (Hrubec, 1973) than those who had never smoked. One explanation of these earlier, as well as our own present findings, might be that those exsmokers who drink more alcohol and coffee simply continue to consume more alcohol and coffee after they quit smoking.…”

Previous studies have examined intra-individual aggregation in the use of cigarettes, alcohol, and coffee by examining the co-occurrent use of any pair of these three substances. A recent literature review failed to find a single investigation that studied use of all three in the same sample. In the present study, co-occurrent use of all three of these substances was examined in crossvalidated subsamples of 226 male and 245 female healthy, community-living, middle-class Americans. A log-linear analysis was used to compare the proportion of smokers, ex-smokers, and nonsmokers categorized as users of more or less amounts of coffee and alcohol. Although most of the intercorrelations were not strong, the results indicate that for both sexes, smokers and ex-smokers were more likely than nonsmokers to drink greater amounts of alcohol and coffee. Furthermore, for smokers, ex-smokers, and nonsmokers, a majority of individuals who reported drinking more alcohol also reported drinking more coffee. Interestingly, the coffee and alcohol consumption levels of ex-smokers resembled those of smokers more than those of nonsmokers. Also, ex-smokers reported drinking more wine and decaffeinated coffee than either smokers or nonsmokers. Finally, the number of cigarettes smoked per day (daily quantity) was positively related to total alcohol and coffee consumption in men, but not in women. Further studies are recommended to examine the role of individual differences in the development, maintenance, and modification of these three appetitive habits and their co-occurrence.
