“…Alcohol abuse is a significant public health problem among young people and it is related with violence and traffic accidents [11][12][13] . While prevention programs are necessary to reduce drinking problems among young people, including medical students, it is also important to understand the alcohol consumption pattern associated factors to better target such prevention programs.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between headache and alcohol consumption among medical students. 480 medical students were submitted to a questionnaire about headaches and drinking alcohol. Headache was assessed by IDMigraine and functional disability was evaluated with MIDAS. The evaluation of alcohol consumption was assessed with Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). There was significantly lower proportion of students with drinking problem among students with headache. This occurred both among students classified as having migraine and among those who had non-migrainous headache. There was not a correlation between functional disability of headache and AUDIT score. Our data suggest that having headache leads to a reduction in alcohol consumption among medical students regardless the degree of headache functional impact.

“…This increased risk is a consequence of the impairment in driving performance that is caused by alcohol, regardless of the driver's driving skills and frequency of drinking. Examples of the influence of alcohol on driving performance include increased reaction times, increased error rates, decreased car control, tunnel vision, slower visual information processing, increased ignorance of traffic rules and an inability to handle unexpected or emergency situations (e.g., Domingues et al, 2009;Friedman et al, 2011;Ogden and Moskowitz, 2004).…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess alcohol use problems in patients with migraine and tension-type headache. Method: We evaluated 81 patients with migraine and 62 patients with tension-type headache. The identification of alcohol consumption problems was carried out with Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Alcohol use problem was defined as an AUDIT score of 8 or above. The headache impact was calculated with headache impact test (HIT-6). Results: The proportions of alcohol use problem among patients with migraine and tension-type headache were 5.2% and 16.1%, respectively (P=0.044). The headache impact was significantly higher with migraine than with tension-type headache (P<0.0001). There was an inverse correlation between headache impact and AUDIT (P=0.043). Conclusions: Our results suggest that migraine patients are less prone to alcohol use problems than tension-type headache patients. One of the possible reasons is that migraine is associated with greater impact than tension-type headache.
