Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the drinking habits of Japanese physicians, and clarify their causal factors. A self-administered questionnaire was sent to 6000 male and 1500 female physicians, selected from among members of the Japan Medical Association. We analyzed the correlation of drinking habits with age, medical department, smoking and exercise status, work environment, sleep problems, and mental health. The response rate was 79.4%. Physicians with a heavy drinking habit were most frequently men in their 60s and women in their 20s to 50s. Drinking or heavy drinking tendencies decreased with increasing age. Smoking status was correlated with heavy drinking. Exercise status was correlated with drinking among men, and drinking/heavy drinking among women. Mental health was not correlated with drinking habit. However, sleep problems were correlated with a heavy drinking habit. These results suggest that countermeasures need to be taken to decrease the rate of heavy drinking among physicians.

Abstract:
For a long period of time, alcohol consumption has been considered a shortcut to relieve stress and modify behavior in order to have a better time and provide a pleasant company in the eyes of other fellow companions. This is peculiarly valid for young ages who occupy a more active social life. The habit of alcohol consumption has been repeatedly evaluated and each time a different factor has appeared to play a role in its development. Alcohol beverages are consumed by students at different rates in different countries. High-income countries seem to have a wider range of consumption among students, even though their rules in alcohol consumption seem to be stricter. Meanwhile, fewer evaluations have been provided in this aspect in low-income countries. What seems to be interesting is that different circumstances that accompany living in low-income countries may obtain a valuable set of results that would provide a solid comparison between alcohol consumption habits between students in low-income countries and high-income countries. The use of such data may facilitate the implementation of alcohol policies and regulations accordingly.

Abstract:
Background The measures implemented by governments worldwide to control and prevent the spread of the COVID-19 have impacted the populations and directly influenced individuals’ quality of life and consumption habits. Objective This work investigates the Portuguese population’s changes in alcohol, stimulants drinks, illegal substances, and pharmaceutical consumptions habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods An online questionnaire comprising seven groups of questions–with one group referring to alcohol, stimulant drinks, illegal substances, and pharmaceuticals consumption habits–was made available to the general adult population of mainland Portugal from the 26th January through the 31st of March 2021. After applying the inclusion criteria, 1666 questionnaires were selected and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Our results show that 48.9% of the participants have alcohol drinking habits and increased their alcohol consumption by 16% after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Furthermore, 8.7% of the respondents felt the need to increase their consumption of stimulant drinks, especially coffee, the most consumed stimulant drink (77.9%). We also observed that of the 3.1% of respondents who are usual consumers of illegal substances, 26.9% increased their consumption of these substances during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerning pharmaceuticals, 23.2% of the respondents expressed their need to take a therapeutic drug after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The profile of common consumers of alcohol, stimulant drinks, illegal substances, and pharmaceuticals in the COVID-19 pandemic context is contrasting and varies according to gender, age, and employment status. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the consumption of alcohol, stimulant drinks, illegal substances, and pharmaceuticals prescribed to treat anxiety, depression, and sleep changes in the Portuguese population. These new consumption patterns have probably aggravated domestic violence, mental diseases, and impairment of family quality of life in the Portuguese population.

Abstract:
Objective: Alcohol affects many human systems and is involved in the pathogenesis of other diseases. Particular attention must be paid to alcohol consumption among young people. It has been shown that 25% of young people’s deaths are attributable to alcohol, and around 35 million people aged over 11 had consumed at least one alcoholic beverage in 2015. Study Design: Young people aged 18–24 were the most vulnerable to binge drinking in Italy, and 50.6% of teenagers drunk alcohol. Only a few studies in the literature have investigated those habits in university students. This study aims to examine alcohol use habits in a population of university students in Italy. Methods: Between 2018 and 2019, an anonymous online questionnaire was randomly sent to university students from 17 different universities in a network of research centres to study alcohol use disorders. The survey included socio-demographic information, questions about alcohol use, knowledge about alcohol consumption, and related risks. Used questionnaires were the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C) and the Drinking Motive Questionnaire-Revised (DMQ-R). Results: the AUDIT-C revealed that 53.3% of students were high-risk drinkers. Regarding binge drinking habits, 13.1% of students admitted to binge drinking behavior at least once a month. In our sample, male students are more likely to be low-risk drinkers than female peers (p < 0.008). Students from northern Italy are more likely to be high-risk drinkers (p = 0.003). Beer (65.9%) and wine (60.9%) were the most consumed alcoholic beverages. The most common places to drink alcohol were pubs (85.5%). The most likely motivations to drink alcohol were enhancement (40.43%), social (38.39%), coping (15.63%), and social pressure or conformity (5.55%). Only 43.8% of participants reported having attended an educational course on alcohol. Conclusions: University students were not fully aware of the implications of alcohol misuse and will be part of the adult society as critical figures and future leaders. It is imperative to inform students about alcohol consumption risks and investigate the motivations to drink. Stress, anxiety, and social pressure are only a few issues young people are exposed to. Special attention must be paid to young people and their coping strategies that involve substance abuse by using educative, preventive, and motivational approaches.

Abstract:
Alcohol abuse is widely blamed for the very high rate of male mortality in Russia. I estimate a structural model of the demand for alcohol that incorporates two features of alcohol consumption, peer effects and habits. I use a kink in the policy regime of the excise tax on alcohol and regional variation in alcohol regulations to estimate a price elasticity of demand for alcohol. I find that peer influence and habits are critical determinants of the response of alcohol demand to price changes. The estimates imply that increases in alcohol prices would yield significant reductions in mortality. (JEL D12, H25, I12, L66, P23, P36)

Abstract:
The article focuses on the drinking habits of Swedish higher education students at the beginning of the 21st century. The main aim of the research is to determine the traditions of alcohol consumption. In February and March 2021, a quantitative survey was conducted, with interviews among 96 students who had studied or were still studying in Sweden. The article presents the most common occasions on which students choose to consume alcohol, and discusses students’ choices of strong alcoholic beverages and their attitudes about alcohol consumption at student festivals and on other occasions. The research reveals that the pressure to consume alcohol is felt from friends. However, the consumption of strong alcoholic beverages is not evaluated negatively at student festivals.

Abstract:
Background: Various studies have shown that alcohol consumption and smoking habits are complementary and associated behavior for each other, and these behaviours are influenced by socio-cultural and socio-demographic factors.Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted on 2013 among 648 general people of rural community of Ramechap district, Nepal. Questionnaires were used to collect information on age, gender, smoking habit, alcohol consumption habit and occupation. Frequency, percentage as well as mean and standard deviation (SD) were calculated as descriptive statistics. To measure the association between alcohol consumption and explanatory variables ( i.e. sex, smoking habit and occupation), we used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis to calculate unadjusted odds ratios (ORs) and adjusted odds ratios(aORs) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI).Results: Alcohol consumption was found to be associated with different explanatory variables as follows : smoking habit (Yes: aOR =3.90, 95%CI = 2.58, 5.92), sex (Male: aOR = 3.64, 95%CI = 2.27, 5.82), occupation (house wife: aOR = 0.79, 95%CI =0.44, 1.43; teacher: aOR = 1.88, 95%CI = 0.68, 5.24; government service: aOR = 1.99, 95%CI = 1.11, 3.59; and others: aOR = 0.61, 95%CI = 0.25, 1.47).Conclusions: Our findings showed an association between alcohol consumption and smoking habit among the population under study.

Abstract:
AbstractRecent studies have revealed that sport activity is a protective factor regarding smoking, but a risk factor for alcohol abuse. Considering these findings, it is necessary to investigate the occurrence of substance misuse. Sports that are associated with a substantial amount of physical/mental stress are very interesting from the perspective of substance misuse (e.g., handball). This research was performed to more closely study the population engaged in handball regarding the risk for alcohol and/or tobacco consumption. The sample of respondents consisted of 150 senior handball players who were members of 9 first-league handball clubs from Croatia and abroad. The respondents were grouped into sub-samples according to sex, age, experience, the number of weekly training sessions and their social environment (clubs). Alcohol consumption data were obtained using the AUDIT questionnaire. The differences between groups were tested using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. The study revealed that handball players engaged in alcohol misuse, and they were grouped in the harmful drinking category (AUDIT score, 16-19 for all groups). Regarding tobacco product consumption, the risk groups were women (who smoked significantly more than men, MWU test: Z = 3.30. p < 0.001), handball players with less experience (who smoked significantly more than experienced players, MWU test: Z = 3.68, p < 0.001). Borderline significance was observed for the impact made by social environments, and age was not a significant predictor of tobacco consumption. Regarding alcohol consumption, the highest hazard group were national handball players, who drank much more than foreign players did (MWU test: Z = 2.04, p = 0.04); however, sex, age, experience and training habits were not alcohol consumption predictors in handball. This study reveal that the typical behaviors regarding alcohol and tobacco consumption followed by the general population do not apply to handball players. Targeted prevention can be much more precisely established considering this research.

Abstract:
O álcool é, atualmente, a substância psicoativa mais consumida no mundo, registando-se um grande aumento do consumo pelos jovens. Partindo desta realidade, este estudo pretendeu caraterizar o fenómeno dos consumos, procurando capacitar os adolescentes para as escolhas acertadas. Foi desenvolvido um estudo aprofundado dos hábitos de consumo dos adolescentes, dos seus comportamentos e das suas atitudes, bem como das suas representações acerca dos efeitos do consumo do álcool, tendo em conta os diferentes contextos sociais, dos alunos do 9.º ano de escolaridade e do ensino secundário do distrito de Beja. Foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário, construído de origem, a 501 alunos, juntamente com o Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, entre maio e junho de 2011. A informação foi tratada com recurso do IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0, com diversos testes estatísticos, entre os quais a análise de medidas de tendência central e de dispersão, testes de correlação do Qui-quadrado, V de Cramer e de Kendall, Análise Fatorial e Regressão Linear. Com base nos resultados encontrados, foi elaborado e implementado um programa de intervenção preventiva do consumo de álcool em meio escolar. Os principais resultados apontam para a maioria dos alunos já ter consumido álcool, tratando-se da substância psicoativa mais consumida. Os alunos tendem a consumir bebidas alcoólicas cada vez mais precocemente, iniciando-se entre os 13 e os 15 anos de idade. Os consumos fazem-se com os amigos, em contextos festivos, aos fins de semana e preferencialmente à noite, para obter alegria e diversão, tendo a maior parte consumido a última bebida na última semana (maior parte rapazes) ou entre a última semana e um mês (maior parte raparigas), anterior à aplicação do questionário, o que corresponde a um consumo atual. Os rapazes consomem essencialmente cerveja, preferindo as raparigas bebidas destiladas/espirituosas. Apesar da maioria dos alunos ter referido que nunca se embriagou nem praticou o binge drinking, essas tendências diminuem com a idade e com o ano de escolaridade, predominando nos rapazes. Os alunos que já se embriagaram fazendo-o menos de 12 vezes por ano, procuram alegria, desinibição, euforia e excitação. A maioria não consome outras substâncias quando está embriagada, mas esta percentagem diminui com o aumento da idade, e quando o fazem consomem preferencialmente tabaco e cannabis. Apesar da maior parte dos alunos das diferentes faixas etárias apresentar consumos e baixo risco, os consumos abusivos aumentam com a idade e 1,7% revelam consumos preocupantes de dependência do álcool. A maioria dos adolescentes considera que o consumo de álcool não facilita a integração no grupo de amigos, todavia defende que o mesmo consumo ajuda-os a serem aceites pelo grupo de amigos e, consequentemente a sentirem-se mais integrados e identificados com os pares. Na globalidade, a avaliação do programa de prevenção de consumo de álcool foi bastante satisfatória, tendo a maioria dos alunos sido envolvida nas sessões e no desenvolvimento dos trabalhos. Devido à limitação temporal para o desenvolvimento do programa de prevenção, este não foi suficiente para mudar os hábitos de consumo dos adolescentes. Parece ter sido eficaz no âmbito da informação e do esclarecimento sobre os efeitos do álcool, bem como na clarificação de factos e mitos associados ao consumo de bebidas alcoólicas. A intervenção foi manifestamente insuficiente para trabalhar as competências dos alunos para resistir ao consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, bem como a sua capacidade de resistir à pressão dos pares; ### ABSTRACT: ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION BY YOUNG PEOPLE FROM ELEMENTARY (9th GRADE) AND HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT OF BEJA: CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE DEFINITION OF A PREVENTION PROGRAM IN EDUCATION FOR HEALTH Alcohol is currently the most used psychoactive substance in the world, and it is increasingly being consumed by young people. Bearing this reality in mind, this study aimed at characterizing the consumption phenomenon, and helping teens to make the right decisions. A thorough research work has been done on teenagers’ drinking habits, their behaviours and attitudes, as well as on the way they described the effects of being under the influence of alcohol, taking into account the different social backgrounds of 9th grade and secondary school students from the district of Beja. Between May and June 2011, a survey created from scratch was delivered to 501 students, together with the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. The data were analysed with the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0, with different statistical tests, among which are the analysis of the measures of the central trend and of dispersion, the correlation Chi-squared, Cramer and Kendall V correlation tests, Factorial Analysis and Linear Regression. Based on the results, a programme was designed and implemented to prevent alcohol consumption in a school environment. The main results show that most students have already consumed alcohol, which was the psychoactive substance they had used the most. Students tend to start drinking earlier and earlier, when they are aged 13 to 15 years old. They do it with friends, in parties, during the weekends, mainly at night, in order to feel good and to have fun. Most of them had drunk their last drink over the past week (mostly boys) or sometime between the past week or one month (mostly girls), prior to delivering the survey, which corresponds to the present consumption. Boys drink mostly beer whereas girls prefer liquors or spirits. Even though most students mentioned that they have never got drunk or practiced binge drinking, these trends decrease with one’s age and level of study, prevailing in boys. Students who have already got drunk, having done so less than 12 times a year, seek to have fun, disinhibition, euphoria and excitement. Most people don’t use other substances when they are drunk, but this percentage decreases as people get older and, when they do, they use mostly tobacco and cannabis. Even though most students from different age groups present low risk consumptions, the abusive consumptions increase with age and 1.7% reveal concerning consumptions of alcohol dependency. Most teenagers think alcohol consumption doesn’t make the integration into a group of friends easier, but they argue that this consumption helps them being accepted by the group of friends and, therefore, to feel more integrated and identified with their peers. As a whole, the assessment of the program to prevent alcohol consumption was quite satisfactory and most students got involved in the sessions and in the development of the works. Since the development of the prevention program was quite limited in time, this was not enough to change the consumption habits of teenagers. It seems to have been effective in the scope of information and elucidation on the side effects of alcohol, as well as in the clarification of facts and myths associated to the consumption of alcoholic drinks. The intervention was clearly insufficient to work students’ skills to fight the consumption of alcoholic drinks, as well as their ability to overcome peer pressure.

Abstract:

According to the salutogenic theory put forth by Antonovsky, an individual’s sense of coherence (SOC) is central for maintaining health. The present study used data from middle-aged women being part of a longitudinal research program to investigate how SOC relates to health status (in terms of self-rated health and medicine consumption) and a set of lifestyle factors (physical exercise, alcohol consumption, nicotine consumption and dietary habits). Women with a strong SOC were hypothesized to exhibit better health profiles, consume less medication, and lead a healthier lifestyle than women with a weak SOC. The findings partly confirmed the hypotheses in showing that women with a strong SOC had better self-rated overall health, better psychological well-being, fewer self-reported diseases and lower medicine consumption. Contrary to the hypothesis, women with stronger SOC had more self-reported psychological and physical symptoms. Of the lifestyle factors, only dietary habits were significantly associated with SOC. The study shows that SOC is related to differences in health and medicine consumption in a homogeneous group of middle-aged women, while the association between SOC and lifestyle was found to be less prominent.

Abstract:
This essay investigates the status of alcohol consumption in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby (1925). The analysis focuses on character study reading of Jay Gatsby, and Tom and Daisy Buchanan in conjunction with Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of habitus, by placing habitus in the specific historical context of the novel. The analysis focuses on the social structures of the alcohol-consuming upper-class Americans, and the reproduction of internalized practices during Prohibition. Drinking alcohol is seen as a valued, cultural capital among the elite society and used as a tool in a competition of power. The Buchanans, as true members of their class, are constantly intoxicated. For Gatsby, a sober man and an imposter of the elite society, drinking has no cultural value. I argue that, from the cultural aspect, Gatsby’s fall is a consequence of his soberness among the drunkenness of the hierarchy.

Background: South Africa is one of the countries with the highest Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevalence in the world. The main mode of transmission in South Africa is via heterosexual intercourse. Thus there is the need to identify factors associated with HIV high risk sexual behaviour to inform future intervention programmes. Objective: To determine the association between alcohol consumption and high risk sexual behaviour in South African adults in 2006. Methods: Secondary data analysis of cross sectional study involving 1544 adult males and females, between 16-65 years interviewed in the Soul City National Survey. A multi-stage, stratified and clustered probability sampling technique was used. Univariate and multivariate analysis was done using student t test, chi square test and logistic regression models. Results: The prevalence of alcohol consumption in the week prior to the survey was 24.4% (95%CI: 22.2-26.6). The prevalence of heavy episodic drinking in last one month was 17.5% (95%CI: 15.5-19.4). There was an association between broad socioeconomic conditions and sexual behaviour particularly age, sex and race (P<0.05). The mean age at sexual debut was 17.13 (SD 2.61) years in the males and 17.91 (2.45 SD) years in females (P<0.001). Of the sexually active respondents, 12.7% and 4.2% of the men and women respectively had multiple partners currently (P<0.001). Generally consistent condom use was more in men although, only 10.3% of the men and 5.6% of the women used the condoms consistently with their casual partners (P=0.28). Multivariate regression showed that alcohol use predicted having multiple partners (AOR 2.37; 95%CI 1.19-4.69 and AOR 4.15; 95%CI 1.37-11.97) for moderate and problem drinkers respectively. Also, heavy episodic drinking predicted having multiple partners by three times (AOR 3.21; 95%CI 1.69-6.39). There was a significant dose response relationship for having multiple partners (P<0.05). As regards unprotected sexual intercourse, although not significant, female drinkers were found to be protected from inconsistent condom use with a casual partner. Male drinkers on the other hand, were found to be at a higher risk of having unprotected sex with casual partners. Perceptions of susceptibility to HIV (AOR 0.31; 95%CI 0.17-0.56), and alcohol related harm (AOR 0.17; 95%CI; 0.22-0.71) influenced consistent condom use with casual partners. Also regards gender differences, women who drank alcohol (AOR 9.68; 95%CI 1.31-17.45 vs. 1.17; 0.28-4.89) or were heavy episodic drinkers (AOR 4.45; 95%CI 1.46-3.55 vs. 2.43; 1.03-5.92) had a higher probability of having multiple partners than men. Conclusion: There is a strong association between risky alcohol use and high risk sexual behaviours. HIV prevention programmes need to address reduction in alcohol intake and changes in drinking pattern. Further research to disentangle the relationship between condom use and alcohol use is needed.

The microsomal ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS) is involved in metabolism of alcohol in the liver, the major component of MEOS is cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1). CYP2E1 gene polymorphisms that alter its functions may be associated with alcohol susceptibility in individual. A RsaI/PstI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) has been reported in the 5’-flanking region of CYP2E1 gene. The rare mutant allele (c2 allele) that lacks the Rsa I restriction site, but can cut with Pst I has been found to be associated with higher transcriptional activity, mRNA expression, protein levels and enzyme activity than the commom wild type-c1 allele. CYP2E1-dependent oxidative stress on the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced liver injury. The recent epidemiological studies have point out that there are a high prevalence of alcohol consumption in aborigines of Southern taiwan. Dr.Bosron presented an drinks wine the behavior receives the environment and the genetic factor influence, this kind of difference also receives the racial influence to be really big. This study focus on the aborigines with high alcohol drinks rate to examine the possible effect on drinks habit and gene polymorphism of CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI to blood biochemicial index. The experimental result found that male aborigines drinker in blood pressure, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol, uric acid and AST value more than male aborigines non-drinker. However the values are in T.cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, creatinine less than non-drinker. The female aborigines drinker in blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, uric acid, creatinine and AST value more than female aborigines non-drinker. However the values are in T.cholesterol and LDL cholesterol less than non-drinker. Nevertheless, male aborigines drinker and female aborigines non-drinker did not achieved diversity of statistical in function of CYP2E1 gene polymorphism to biochemical index. Male aborigines non-drinkers have c1/c2+c2/c2 in CYP2E1 gene polymorphism compare to c1/c1 also have higher WHR (0.93±0.05 vs. 0.90±0.06, p = 0.035) and ALT (30.0±22.0 IU/L vs. 21.5±11.0 IU/L , p = 0.012). To summary, male aborigines who have c2 allele in CYP2E1 gene polymorphism may relate to obese and Liver dysfuction.

Abstract:
This study explores the possible efficacy of a low carbohydrate and high fat nutritional intervention (LCHF) as a treatment possibility aiming to improve the ability of self-control and regulation in the context of carbohydrate-addiction. The study first outlines why increased simple carbohydrate consumption has been implicated as a risk-factor in numerous chronic conditions, and then explores the possibility that a reduction of such consumption could lower general medical expenditure in the healthcare sector of already overburdened institutions, especially in developing countries like South Africa. Since the neurobiological evidence for food addiction is compelling, this study investigates the impact of a low carbohydrate and high fat eating (LCHF) regimen by measuring the change in the severity of addictive behaviour in relation to a reduced carbohydrate consumption. Results indicate that a LCHF nutritional intervention lessened addictive behaviour after just 30 days, resulting in a statistically significant decrease in addiction symptoms from day 1 to day 30. The weight and BMI values of the participants recorded at the end of the study showed a reduction from those obtained during the pre- treatment stage, and the self-perceived ‘feeling in control’ also improved in all participants after the intervention. The introduction of a LCHF nutritional intervention presents a relatively cost-effective treatment and preventative measure to combat carbohydrate over-consumption and its numerous health complications, and it is therefore hoped that the positive findings of this study will foster further research, using larger samples, into this type of nutritional intervention against addictive eating behaviour.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the Actors' Equity Association's (AEA) campaign to raise the status of the acting community by cleansing it of its long-standing reputation for immorality. It focuses in the first instance on the efforts of Equity leaders to improve the collective image of actors by persuading the Methodist Church to lift its ban on commercial amusements and taking newspapers to task for reinforcing the association that existed in the public mind between acting and criminality. Its primary concern, however, was with the internal dimension of the campaign. It takes as its starting point the AEA's crusade against the excessive consumption of alcohol, a practice that straddled not only the divide between the legal and the extralegal but also the ill-defined line between the public sphere and the private sphere. It argues that accusations of drunkenness often functioned as a pretext for disciplining those performers whose sexual habits were at odds with the so-called civilized morality embraced by the leadership of the AEA—that is, “promiscuous” women and homosexual men. Even as the theater as a cultural institution was helping to redraw the boundaries of propriety in American society, the AEA was seeking to bind the men and women of the legitimate stage to a moral code that was rooted in increasingly outmoded notions of respectability.

Abstract:
Although alcohol is lethal in high enough concentrations, it is rarely used as a primary method of suicide. The drug is nevertheless often present in the blood of suicide victims and alcohol consumption is related to suicide rates on an aggregate level. Given that a causal relationship is also supported by both natural experiments and studies on an individual level, restricting access to alcohol can arguably prevent suicides. Sensitivity of suicide rates to changes in alcohol consumption varies from one region to another, depending on cultural drinking habits. Identifying the key characteristics of cultures where changes in alcohol consumption most affect suicide rates may help in deciding where alcohol restriction policies may be effective in reducing suicide.

Abstract:
The aim of the work is to consider the features of alcoholic behavior of a modern woman. The situation with the involvement of women of young, middle and older ages in alcohol consumption is analyzed on the basis of quantitative and qualitative long — term studies conducted by the team of Sector of Sociology of Deviant Behavior of ISRAS — FCTAS RAS at the end of the 20th century, at the turn of the century — in the “zero” years and in modern times. The surveys were accompanied by an analysis of statistical data and a secondary analysis of sociological data on the studied issues. It is shown that, despite the steady decline in the incidence of alcoholism and the prevalence of drug-related disorders associated with alcohol consumption, the involvement of Russians in alcohol consumption remains at a sufficiently high level. The results of comparative studies have revealed that the process of feminization of alcohol consumption recorded at the end of the 20th century continues steadily at the present time. An analysis of female alcohol habits has shown that over the past few years, women who drink alcohol at high risk have increased in all age groups. The greatest changes occurred among young and middle-aged women. It was found that alcohol problems occurring in adolescents, young women, middle-aged and older women are caused by different risk factors. Some factors are present throughout the entire life cycle of a woman, while others are characteristic only for certain life stages.

Abstract:
We examine the main trends in alcohol consumption among young people aged 14–17 and 18–22 based on the data from “Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey – Higher School of Economics” (RLMS-HSE) for the years 2006–2019. Over the years a decreasing number of young people consume alcohol and their consumption is highly irregular. For this reason, to estimate the proportion of young people consuming alcohol, we use the question “Do you consume alcohol, at least occasionally?” in the RLMS-HSE questionnaire. Based on the data for 2012–2019, we identify four types of alcohol consumption among young people: “only beer”, “vodka, beer and other drinks”, “cognac / whiskey / liquor, beer and other drinks”, “wine and beer”. The main differences between these four types and the types of alcohol consumption that characterize drinking habits of the Russian adults are that all four types include beer and most of them comprise two or more kinds of drinks. In addition, we consider the relationship between the consumption patterns of children and their parents. Parents drink alcohol in most families with children aged 14–22. However, the likelihood of children drinking depends on the amount of alcohol consumed by their parents rather than the mere fact of parental alcohol consumption. If parents are prone to excessive alcohol use their children are more likely to drink. Alcohol use in teenagers aged 14–17 is heavily influenced by the excessive alcohol consumption of their mothers, while the excessive alcohol use of the fathers doesn’t have the same effect. Parents’ absence from the household also negatively affected the level of alcohol consumption of their children. Father’s absence in combination with mother’s excessive alcohol use markedly increases the likelihood of young people drinking alcohol.

Abstract:
‘Legacies’ explains that the most important legacy of prohibition in the United States concerned a dramatic change in drinking habits. The raunchy all-male saloon disappeared for good and per capita consumption of alcohol was reduced for a very long time. Consumption in the 1930s was one-third lower than before prohibition because people had little money to spend on drinks during the Great Depression and because a generation that had come of age during prohibition never imbibed much alcohol. Other legacies include industry-sponsored scientific research on alcohol and alcoholism; the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous, which placed responsibility for drinking upon the individual drinker; and the 1980s designated driver scheme proposed by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

This chapter presents the material culture recovered from Hacienda El Progreso midden contexts within the broader perspective of Latin America’s participation in the global market during the later nineteenth century. Two distinct aspects of the imported manufactured goods are suggested: (1) consumption to project a modern image; and (2) technologies used to control the hacienda’s landscape and its workers. Archaeological contexts are described, and the preserved assemblage, including armaments, actuarial implements, money, fencing, alcohol containers, tableware, sewing instruments, toys, and medicaments, are analyzed and contextualized. Consumer choices made by Cobos reflect the consumption habits of a coastal Ecuadorian planter class that were transported to a remote location in time and space.

Abstract:
Objectives: Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a potentially reversible neuropsychiatric emergency caused by thiamine deficiency, whose classical triad consists of confusion, ataxia, and oculomotor dysfunction. The diagnosis is missed in 75-80% of cases and approximately 80% of untreated patients develop Korsakoff Syndrome, whereby recognition of nutritional deficiency or any portion of the triad should prompt treatment. We present a case of a 44-year-old Ukrainian man with suspected background of chronic alcohol abuse and psychiatric history of schizoaffective disorder, who presented with acute onset of confusion, psychomotor agitation, gait ataxia and nystagmus. Anamnesis was hampered by the language barrier and absence of past medical history and patient's alcoholic habits remained unclear. After suspicion of WE it was introduced thiamine and diazepam, with significant improvement. After discontinuation of diazepam, the patient presented with several episodes of tonic-clonic seizures. Starting from this case report, we pretend to discuss the differential diagnosis of seizures in dual pathology. Materials and methods: Clinical records and Pubmed search using the keywords: Wernicke’s Encephalopathy, Seizures, Alcohol, Benzodiazepines. Results and conclusions: Seizures are a common presentation of various conditions associated with alcohol use, whose differential diagnosis is difficult, especially in patients with dubious alcohol consumption. Alcohol abuse is a major precipitant of status epilepticus as seizure threshold is raised by alcohol drinking. Seizures may also occur during alcohol withdrawal for which treatment with benzodiazepines is recommended, however carefully, since both abrupt cessation and high-dose use are critical for the appearance of seizures. Although very rare, WE may also present with seizures, whereby overdiagnosis and overtreatment are preferred to prevent persistent neurocognitive impairments. At discharge the diagnostic discussion prevailed and the patient was medicated for seizures with clinical stabilization. The complexity of psychiatric diagnoses in dual pathology requires a longitudinal assessment for a better understanding of clinical conditions as illustrated here.

Abstract:
Sociodemographic and lifestyle aspects versus access to breast cancer treatment — Single Health System (SHS) and Supplementary Health — were evaluated in a prospective cohort of patients with breast cancer. This is a cross-sectional study with 705 patients. As compared with sociodemographic characteristics, 56.5% (n=398) of the patients were seen through Supplementary Health, and for both SHS and Supplementary Health patients, there is a higher frequency of women aged above 50 years, with 62.2% (n=191) and 51% (n=203) (p=0.002); married, 48.2% (n=148) and 66.6% (n=265) (p <0.001); white, 69.4% (n=213) and 82.1% (n=325) (p<0.001); and for the level of education, 37.1% (n=114) of those with SHS had completed high school and 55.7% (n=221) (p<0.001) of those with Supplementary Health had completed college. The first mammogram occurred between the ages of 18 and 40 years, 72.5% (n=206) of the SHS participants and 88.6% (n=342) (p<0.001) for Supplementary Health; own housing for 90.6% (n=278) and 89.4% (n=354) (p<0.001); denied tobacco use, 65.5% (n=201) and 74.7% (n=296) (p=0.005); and alcohol consumption, 87.6% (n=269) and 77.2% (n=305) (p<0.001). However, there was no difference regarding previous diagnosis of breast cancer in 55.3% (n=114) and 64% (n=178) (p<0.001) and the type of care; eutrophic body mass index was 38.4% (n=118) and 42.1% (n=167) (p=0.079), respectively. Access to SHS and supplementary health care, age above 50 years, married, white, level of education, age at first mammogram, home ownership, smoking habits, and consumption of alcoholic beverages were significantly different; BMI was not different in the two groups. Therefore, the lifestyle of SHS and Supplementary Health patients was statistically different in this cohort of patients.

Abstract:
This research aims to determine the relationship between medical absenteeism, sociodemographic characteristics and human behavior of the workers of a Colombian mining company. A quantitative study with correlational scope was developed, composed of 832 absenteeism records from 2020. To associate the study variables, bivariate tables are considered, using statistics according to parametric behavior. It was evidenced that injuries and poisonings correspond to more than 51% of the total causes of absences, within a predominantly male population (90%) aged between 40 and 50 years with a low educational level, a population that has developed a large part of their working life in activities related to mining. On the other hand, it is considered that absenteeism is significantly related to lifestyle, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, excess body mass index, low physical activity and unhealthy eating habits, aspects that explain a substantial proportion of the absence from work of the personnel working in this company, and also obey to adaptive and self-organized human behaviors, which were learned from generation to generation, as well as the learned processes to the development of the technical skills of the mining labor.

Abstract:
Introduction: The relationship between alcohol and cognition is complex. Objective: To investigate the association of alcohol consumption with cognitive impairment, functionality, psychiatric and neurological diagnoses. Methods: Cross-sectional population-based study. 602 subjects 75+ years were categorized according to the number of drinks consumed per week: 0 (abstainers); 0.1 to 7 (light); 7.1 to 14 (moderate); > 14 (heavy). Cognitive diagnoses were established: dementia, cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) and without cognitive impairment. Results: On multivariate analysis there was no association between cognitive profile and current or previous alcohol consumption. When previous alcohol consumption was treated as dichotomous variable, no association emerged with cognitive profile (p=0.109). As for current habit of alcohol intake treated as dichotomous variable, the absence of alcohol consumption was associated with dementia (OR=2.34; 95%CI: 1.39- 3.90), stroke (p=0.014), current major depression (p=0.013), parkinsonism (p=0.041) and worse functionality (p=0.001). Cachaça consumption was associated with dementia (OR=2.52; 95%CI: 1.25-5.04). Conclusion: Absence of current alcohol consumption was associated with diagnosis of dementia, stroke, major depression, parkinsonism and worse functionality. On the other hand, intake of cachaça was associated with dementia.

Full text
Abstract:
Historically, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have typically been associated with tobacco and alcohol use. However, in recent decades increased levels of overweightness and obesity, mostly caused by poor eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle, have increased diabetes, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. There is a general agreement that sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) are bad for one’s health. As such, measures to reduce their consumption would be expected to positively impact population health. In this working paper, we develop and report on an Excel-based model, in which we simulate the impact of an SSB tax on the prevalence of overweightness and obesity. The model starts with a baseline scenario, which takes cognisance that a 10 KES specific tax already exists on all soft drinks. A sugar-based SSB tax is then introduced. The tax is levied as an amount per gram of sugar, with or without a tax-free threshold. Other than reducing the demand for SSBs, a sugar-based SSB also creates strong incentives for manufacturers to reformulate their products to reduce the sugar content. The model predicts that the average BMI would decrease across all age groups decreasing the prevalence of overweightness and obesity. The magnitude of the decrease in the prevalence of overweightness and obesity depends on the size of the SSB tax. For realistic and politically feasible values of the SSB tax, the prevalence of overweightness and obesity is expected to decrease by between 5 per cent and 10 per cent. Should Kenya implement a sugar-based tax on SSBs, over and above the current excise tax on soft drinks, the government should clarify that such a tax aims to enhance public health; raising additional revenue should be a secondary consideration. Also, implementing a sugar based SSB tax should be part of a more comprehensive strategy to reduce overweightness and obesity, because by itself the impact of the tax is modest.
