“…For instance, Čihák [63] studied data from statistics departments in the Czech Republic and found that economic downturns resulted in higher alcohol consumption, which could be related to the increase in the unemployment rate. Additionally, Khan & Shaw [64] discovered a higher alcohol consumption among the ST class in India (which is socially excluded and in a lower wealth category).…”

“…The average rank of the quality of evidence for both associations was similar: 65.7% for the positive association and 67.8% for the negative; however, the number of studies was not the same, with triple the number of studies concluded with a positive association with a high income. Additionally, the Čihák [63] and Khan & Shaw [64] studies both could not be generalized, since the first one used data about alcohol-related liver cirrhosis to indicate the overall increased consumption of alcohol, which risked insufficient representation of the population, and the latter had a confounder, which was the social exclusion of the specific group, which may have shifted the findings of the study towards the group.…”

Background: Excessive alcohol consumption has negative effects not only on the drinkers’ health but also on others around them. Previous studies suggest that excessive alcohol consumption can be related to a combination of factors such as age, family background, religiosity, etc. Investigating and clarifying these roots of alcohol consumption is crucial so that the right type of interventions can be designed in a specific and targeted manner. Objectives: This work was conducted as a systematic review to reveal the factors associated with alcohol consumption and to heighten the understanding of the differences among various communities and segments of the population regarding their usage of alcohol. Data sources: A systematic search of Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was performed. Results: Forty-five studies were included in the review after excluding irrelevant records and duplicates. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption patterns can be associated with several factors related to communities and individuals, and our review revealed demographic factors, including age and proximity to alcohol outlets, as well as social factors, including family background, socioeconomic background, and religious influence. These findings can be used to establish a guideline for further studies in understanding alcohol consumption patterns among individuals according to their personal characteristics and sociocultural backgrounds.

“…Health is distributed along a gradient in which people with lower socioeconomic status are more likely to suffer a higher burden of disease and earlier mortality than those with higher socioeconomic status [ 30 – 32 ]. The burden of disease caused by tobacco and alcohol use has a disproportionate impact on the poorest and least educated members of society relative to their more advantaged counterparts, a fact that is called “social gradient in health” [ 33 – 37 ].…”

Alcohol and cigarettes are the psychoactive substances that adolescents use most frequently. When both addictions are combined, they carry the worst burden of disease globally. The objective of this study was to identify whether socioeconomic factors correlate with alcohol and tobacco consumption in Mexican adolescents aged 10 years or more and to establish the relationship in the consumption between the two substances. This ecological study utilized data describing alcohol and tobacco consumption among adolescents aged 10–16 years (n = 48,837 ≈ N = 11,621,100). Having ever consumed any alcohol-containing beverage constituted alcohol consumption. Smoking a cigarette within 30 days constituted cigarette consumption. For both variables, the state-level percentages reported in the survey were used. Diverse socioeconomic variables were collected from official sources. Data on the prevalence of tobacco use and alcohol consumption were entered into an Excel database estimated for each of the states of the Mexican Republic, as well as the socioeconomic variables. We performed the analysis using Stata 14. Consumption prevalence was 15.0% for alcohol and 4.2% for tobacco. Alcohol consumption was not correlated with any studied socioeconomic variable ( p > 0.05 ). The prevalence of tobacco consumption among elementary school students correlated ( p < 0.05 ) with the portion of the population living in private dwellings without sewage, drainage, or sanitation (r = 0.3853). The prevalence of tobacco consumption among middle-school adolescents correlated with the portion of the employed population that earned up to two minimum wages (r = 0.3960), the percentage in poverty by income 2008 (r = 0.4754) and 2010 (r = 0.4531), and the percentage in extreme poverty by income 2008 (r = 0.4612) and 2010 (r = 0.4291). Positive correlations were found between tobacco consumption and alcohol consumption among both elementary (r = 0.5762, p = 0.0006 ) and middle-school children (r = 0.7016, p = 0.0000 ). These results suggest that certain socioeconomic factors correlate with tobacco consumption but not alcohol consumption. A correlation between alcohol consumption and tobacco consumption was observed. The results can be used for developing interventions in adolescents.
