“…Asian adolescents in BC and in South Korea shared seven factors associated with heavy drinking: six risk factors and one protective factor. Smoking cigarettes was the strongest risk factor, which is consistent with previous studies of adolescents in South Korea (Chung & Joung, 2013) and US (Chung & Joung, 2018) which showed cigarette use as the main predictor of heavy drinking. Similarly, a study from Ontario, Canada showed a significant overlap in cigarette smoking and heavy drinking (Larsen et al, 2017).…”

“…Previous studies exploring predictors related to heavy drinking among adolescents in various countries have identified a number of predictors, including differences by gender (Iwamoto et al, 2016), school grade (Chung & Joung, 2013;Larsen et al, 2017), bullying victimization (Wang et al, 2018), depression (Lamis, Ballard, May, & Dvorak, 2016), sleep quality (Hasler et al, 2017), exercise (Chung & Joung, 2018), current cigarette smoking (Chung & Joung, 2013), and sexual experience (Wang et al, 2018). Although these demographic characteristics and health and risk behaviors are often related or co-occurring, most of the preceding studies have studied only one concept, or have been studied only in the adolescents of one country (Chung & Joung, 2013), or have been conducted in other countries, such as US (Chung & Joung, 2018;Iwamoto et al, 2016). Considering the high likelihood for heavy drinking among Asian adolescents who experience acculturation stress (Iwamoto et al, 2016), further attention is needed to these patterns for BC Asian adolescents and South Korean adolescents.…”

The aim of this study is to compare the factors related to heavy drinking among British Columbia (BC) Asian adolescents and South Korean adolescents. Design and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. Participants were 72,422 adolescents (12,382 BC Asian adolescents and 60,040 South Korean adolescents) from the 2018 BC Adolescent Health Survey and the 2018 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. Complex samples descriptive statistics, Rao-Scott χ 2 tests, and complex samples logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Heavy drinking was reported by 8.6% of BC Asian adolescents and 7.7% of South Korean adolescents. Asian adolescents in BC and South Korea shared six risk factors and one protective factor linked to odds of heavy drinking. The strongest risk factor for heavy drinking in each region was current cigarette smoking. Other risk factors for heavy drinking included older age/higher grade (10/12th), early initiation of sexual intercourse (age 14 or younger), experiences of bullying, depression, and exercise. The only protective factor for heavy drinking, sufficient sleep, was similar in both regions. Practice Implications: This study suggests several nursing interventions and health promotion strategies to help us to prevent or reduce heavy drinking for BC Asian adolescents and South Korean adolescents.

“… 15 The higher prevalence among boys than girls was consistent with results from other studies, 15 18 34 but differs from a Korean study, in which no sex difference was observed. 14 The highest prevalence of binge drinking in the current study was among students attending vocational high schools. A possible explanation for this was that, compared with middle school and academic high school students, vocational high school students are likely to enter employment immediately following graduation, for which social communication and interaction, possibly associated with alcohol consumption, may be considered important.…”

“…12 In the USA, the prevalence declined from 31.3% in 1991 to 17.7% in 2015. 13 In Asia, the prevalence of heavy episodic drinking (ie, binge drinking) among grade 7–12 students was 10.3% in Korea, 14 while 21.2% of students, with mean age 14.7 years, reported drinking alcohol in the past 30 days and 7.1% reported binge drinking in Hong Kong. 15 In mainland China, a study of 7344 middle school students conducted in four cities (Beijing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Urumchi) found that the prevalence of current drinking was 14.4%, and 9.9% of students had experienced drunkenness, with significant regional differences.…”

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and correlating factors of binge drinking among middle and high school students in Zhejiang Province, China.MethodsWe performed a cross-sectional study using data from a school-based survey. A total of 23 543 (response rate=97.5%) eligible adolescents from 442 different schools (including middle schools, academic high schools and vocational high schools) were asked to fill in an anonymous self-administered behaviour questionnaire between April and May 2017. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to examine the associations of sociodemographic and behavioural factors with binge drinking.ResultsThe mean (SD) age of participants was 15.6 (1.7) years and 51.3% were boys. The proportions of students from middle schools, academic high schools and vocational high schools were 51.9%, 27.5% and 20.6%, respectively. In total, 22.8% (95% CI 21.6 to 23.9) of students reported drinking alcohol in the past 30 days and 9.2% (95% CI 8.5 to 10.0) of students reported binge drinking (defined as drinking four or more alcoholic drinks in 1–2 hours period among girls and five or more alcoholic drinks among boys) during the past month. The prevalence of binge drinking was highest among vocational high school students (17.9% vs 6.3% and 7.7% among middle school and academic high school students, respectively). Older age, studying at high school, poor academic performance, higher levels of physical activity, excessive screen-time, loneliness, insomnia, previous suicide attempt, cigarette smoking, fighting, being bullied and sexual experience were found to be positively associated with adolescent binge drinking.ConclusionsBinge drinking is common among middle and high school students in Zhejiang, China. Efforts to prevent binge drinking may need to address a cluster of sociodemographic and behavioural factors. Our findings provide information to enable healthcare providers to identify students at high-risk of binge drinking and to inform planning of intervention measures for at-risk students.

“…The age distributions of these undergraduate college students is approximately <21 years (45.5%), 21 to 23 years (48.1%), and ≥24 years (28.5%), respectively. According to 2009 Korea national data, excessive alcohol consumption in a single session or day was reported by 10.3% of respondent students in grades 7 to 12 [ 4 ]. Young adults and adolescents who are at risk for early diabetes and prediabetes also tend to be exposed to excessive or binge drinking.…”

Alcohol consumption increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, its effects on prediabetes or early diabetes have not been studied. We investigated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the pancreas and liver resulting from chronic alcohol consumption in the prediabetes and early stages of diabetes. We separated Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, a type-2 diabetic animal model, into two groups based on diabetic stage: prediabetes and early diabetes were defined as occurrence between the ages of 11 to 16 weeks and 17 to 22 weeks, respectively. The experimental group received an ethanol-containing liquid diet for 6 weeks. An intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was conducted after 16 and 22 weeks for the prediabetic and early diabetes groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in body weight between the control and ethanol groups. Fasting and 120-min glucose levels were lower and higher, respectively, in the ethanol group than in the control group. In prediabetes rats, alcohol induced significant expression of ER stress markers in the pancreas; however, alcohol did not affect the liver. In early diabetes rats, alcohol significantly increased most ER stress-marker levels in both the pancreas and liver. These results indicate that chronic alcohol consumption increased the risk of diabetes in prediabetic and early diabetic OLETF rats; the pancreas was more susceptible to damage than was the liver in the early diabetic stages, and the adaptive and proapoptotic pathway of ER stress may play key roles in the development and progression of diabetes affected by chronic alcohol ingestion.
