“…Evidence shows that women who consume alcohol are aware of the stereotypical risks that position them as vulnerable (64). According to recent research, the combination of alcohol and sexualization only occurs in young women (21).…”

“…However, despite these strategies, smearing still occurs when women consume alcohol excessively. In fact, young women are judged more than young men when they exhibit "inappropriate" alcohol behavior in real life as well as on social media (21).…”

“…In terms of gender norms and their relationship to health, research has revealed that most behaviors and practices that promote care are associated with femininity, whereas those that involve taking risks are associated with masculinity (19). Gender is considered a relational theoretical approach that focuses on social processes and structures, encompassing cultural factors that influence individual and social understanding of masculinities and femininities (20,21).…”

Introduction: Alcohol consumption is a complex social practice that plays a role in building and consolidating friendships, as well as creating gender identities. The latter determines the limits of behaviors and defines what is considered appropriate or inappropriate in our daily routine; therefore, alcohol consumption patterns are not independent of gender. Objective: To identify and describe available evidence on the influence of gender on youth alcohol consumption. Materials and method: A review was conducted under JBI and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Original full-text articles published between 2018 and 2023 in the VHL, PubMed, EBSCOhost, Web of Sciences, Epistemonikos, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest databases, without language limitations, were analyzed. The search categories were “Alcohol Drinking” AND “Young Adult” AND “Gender Identity” OR “Gender role”. Results: A total of 403 records were identified, but only 12 studies were included in the synthesis. The main results of these studies showed that both gender identity and gender roles influence alcohol consumption in young adults. Social gender norms may pressure young women to maintain a physical image and young men to maintain a normative public image. Conclusions: Social gender norms influence alcohol consumption behaviors; therefore, it is necessary to take these gender differences into account in nursing interventions and prevention strategies.

“…Recently, Romo‐Avilés et al (2023), considering 13 discussion groups, conducted during 3‐month period of observation on Instagram, and 38 in‐depth interviews of young Spanish men and women between the ages of 15 and 24, found that ICT and social network permit different types of alcohol advertising and promotion of the image associated with its consumption and are thus a space that brands and influencers exploit.…”

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has generated a rich literature. In this paper, we examine the effect of ICT use on alcohol consumption in a sample of 120 developing countries. To do so, we specify and estimate a panel data model first by pooled ordinary least squares (POLS) and second by feasible generalised least squares (F‐GLS) over the period 2000–2020. The robustness of the results is tested by using the system generalised method of moments (S‐GMM), taking into account regional specificities and cultural variables. The main result reveals that ICT use significantly reduces alcohol consumption. However, the effects of ICTs are mediated by economic, political and institutional governance. We suggest qualitative improvements in technological infrastructure for continued mitigation of alcohol consumption in developing countries.

“…These images have been closely linked to an earlier onset of alcohol consumption, and excessive intake, such as binge‐drinking (World Health Organization, 2021b). In addition, in leisure and alcohol environments, violence against young women is proliferating and worsening, and they are the object of violence on SNSs, with videos recorded without their consent being uploaded, or receiving criticism and harassment for uploading sexualized images in these settings (Tarriño‐Concejero et al., 2023), as well as other cases of suffering direct sexual harassment and violence when drunk (Romo‐Avilés et al., 2023).…”

IntroductionSocial networking sites perpetuate gender stereotypes, inequalities, and gender violence, generating adverse health effects.MethodsThis study aimed to analyze the relationship between Instagram, alcohol consumption and effects on health, through interviews and discussion groups involving adolescents (high school or university students and workers), during the period from the third to the sixth wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic.ResultsA total of 118 individuals participated in the study. Three coding clusters were identified: (1) Inequality in the representation of men and women on SNSs; (2) Violence towards women's bodies and sexual violence on SNSs; and (3) Health problems derived from violence against women's body image on SNSs. The main focus of our analysis was the exhibition of the female body, in which eroticization of the body prevails and gender roles are perpetuated. Violence is generated towards women in the form of misogynistic attacks for daring to challenge conventional stereotypes. Many interviewees coincide that the main health effects include low self‐esteem, anxiety and eating disorders.ConclusionsThe institutional response to the abuses and violence committed on SNSs against women is weak, and public policies are needed to protect women in these environments where they are especially vulnerable.
