“…Enoch 2006), early drinking onset might have long-lasting adverse consequences. Indeed, a large body of literature documents a significant relationship between (extensive) alcohol consumption in young people and various negative outcomes, such as crime (Carpenter 2005a), risky sexual behavior and teenage pregnancy (Sen 2003;Carpenter 2005b), suicide (Birckmayer and Hemenway 1999;O'Connell and Lawlor 2005), lower academic performance (Carrell et al 2011), lower employment and higher risk of unemployment (Mullahy and Sindelar 1996), adverse health effects such as mortality and hospitalization (Chaloupka and Xu 2011;Kim et al 2012), and motor vehicle fatalities (Ruhm 1996;Dee 1999).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractExcessive alcohol consumption among young people is a major public health concern. On March 1, 2010, the German state of Baden-Württemberg banned the sale of alcoholic beverages between 10pm and 5am at off-premise outlets (e.g., gas stations, kiosks, supermarkets). We use rich monthly administrative data from a 70 percent random sample of all hospitalizations during the years 2007-2011 in Germany in order to evaluate the short-term impact of this policy on alcohol-related hospitalizations. Applying difference-in-differences methods, we find that the policy change reduces alcohol-related hospitalizations among adolescents and young adults by about seven percent. There is also evidence of a decrease in the number of hospitalizations due to violent assault as a result of the ban. JEL: I12, I18, D04

“…Epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated that youth drinking is an important predictor of negative social, developmental, and behavioral health effects (Swahn, Simon, Hammig, & Guerrero, 2004; Hingson, Heeren, & Winter, 2006; Gil & Molina, 2007; The Lancet, 2008; Committee on Substance Abuse, 2010; Kim, Asrani, Shah, Kim, & Schneekloth, 2012; Rehm et al, 2014). Recent survey data indicate that despite declining trends in overall past-month drinking prevalence, roughly 70% of U.S. high school seniors have ever consumed alcohol, while about 25% of American youth ages 12–20 have done so in the past 30 days (Johnston, O’Malley, Bachman, & Schulenberg, 2011; Chen, Yi, & Faden, 2013; Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2013; Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, 2014).…”

Background Alcohol research focused on underage drinkers has not comprehensively assessed the landscape of brand-level drinking behaviors among youth. This information is needed to profile youth alcohol use accurately, explore its antecedents, and develop appropriate interventions. Methods We collected national data on the alcohol brand-level consumption of underage drinkers in the United States and then examined the association between those preferences and several factors including youth exposure to brand-specific alcohol advertising, corporate sponsorships, popular music lyrics, and social networking sites, and alcohol pricing. This paper summarizes our findings, plus the results of other published studies on alcohol branding and youth drinking. Results Our findings revealed several interesting facts regarding youth drinking. For example, we found that: 1) youth are not drinking the cheapest alcohol brands; 2) youth brand preferences differ from those of adult drinkers; 3) underage drinkers are not opportunistic in their alcohol consumption, but instead consume a very specific set of brands; 4) the brands that youth are heavily exposed to in magazines and television advertising correspond to the brands they most often report consuming; and 5) youth consume more of the alcohol brands to whose advertising they are most heavily exposed. Conclusion The findings presented here suggests that brand-level alcohol research will provide important insight into youth drinking behaviors, the factors that contribute to youth alcohol consumption, and potential avenues for effective public health surveillance and programming.

“…For example, in US adolescents, 49% drank monthly and 23% had ever binged, 2 and 5.8% of hospitalisation among adolescents were attributable to alcohol use disorders. 17 Little is known about the effects of alcohol drinking on medical services use in Chinese adolescents, who consume less alcohol than their Western counterparts. 1 In Hong Kong, the most westernised city in China, 22-26% of the adolescents drank monthly.…”

ObjectivesTo investigate the association of underage alcohol drinking with medical consultation and hospitalisation in Hong Kong.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingSecondary schools in Hong Kong.ParticipantsA total of 33 300 secondary 1 (US grade 7) to secondary 5 students (47.6% boys; mean age 14.6 years, SD 1.6) in 85 randomly selected schools.Outcome measuresAn anonymous questionnaire was used to obtain information about medical consultation in the past 14 days, hospitalisation in the past 12 months, drinking alcohol, smoking, illicit drug use, physical activity, secondhand smoke exposure, feeling depressed, feeling anxious and sociodemographic characteristics. Drinking alcohol was categorised as non-drinking (reference), <1, 1–2 and 3–7 days/week. Logistic regression yielded adjusted ORs (AORs) of medical consultation and hospitalisation for drinking, adjusting for different potential confounders. Subgroup analysis was conducted among adolescents who did not report feeling anxious or depressed.ResultsMore than one-fourth (27.6%) of adolescents drank alcohol, 15.9% had medical consultation and 5.1% had been hospitalised. In the fully adjusted model, the AORs (95% CI) for medical consultation were 1.14 (1.06 to 1.23) for <1 day/week, 1.30 (1.13 to 1.50) for 1–2 days/week and 1.70 (1.41 to 2.06) for 3–7 days/week of drinking compared with non-drinking (p for trend <0.001). The corresponding AORs (95% CI) for hospitalisation were 1.14 (1.02 to 1.28), 1.68 (1.32 to 2.14) and 2.38 (1.90 to 2.98) (p for trend <0.001). Similar associations were observed among students who did not feel anxious or depressed.ConclusionsAlcohol consumption was associated with medical services use in Chinese adolescents. More rigorous alcohol control policies and health promotion programmes are needed to reduce alcohol drinking and related harms in adolescents.
