The Past

Approximately 64,000,000 people in the United States report binge drinking at least once in the past month. Unlike overeating and oversleeping, “overdrinking”—defined as drinking more than a person intends to drink—does not exist in the literature. Terms such as binge and problem drinking do not consider the intent of the drinker. The results of this pilot study suggest that most people drink more than they intend to drink. Moreover, they also report often being surprised that they overdrank. Smartphones may help overdrinkers be less often surprised by overdrinking and may prevent drinkers from developing an alcohol use disorder.

Background: Harmful use of alcohol is accountable for 7.1% and 2.2% of the global burden of disease for males and females respectively. Alcohol is the leading risk factor for premature mortality and disability among those aged 15 to 49 years, accounting for 10% of all deaths in this age group. Objectives of current study were to assess the prevalence of alcohol consumption students pursuing professional courses and to know the factors associated with alcohol consumption among study participants.Methods: Current study is a cross sectional study with sample size of 410 (male: 49%, female 51%). The alcohol use disorders identification test self-report version by WHO was taken as study tool. Data Collection was done online through Google forms and data analysis was done using SPSS trial version.Results: Mean age of the participants was 21.95±3.03 years. Prevalence of alcohol consumption was found in 17.1% study participants.Conclusions: Alcohol use varies among different academic streams across varied socio demographic backgrounds. Interventions including in campus counselling are need of the hour.

The purpose of this review is to familiarise the reader with the clinical utility of investigations in the diagnosis and management of alcohol use disorders (AUDs). Many biochemical and haematological tests are widely available, and can improve significantly the quality of diagnosis and management. However, there is no single test that can detect AUDs with complete accuracy. Further, the validity of a test will vary depending on the clinical application. Such tests should never be relied on in isolation. Adequate clinical evaluation also needs to include a combination of interview and examination of the patient, and interview of other informants (Cantwell & Chick, 1994; Edwardset al, 1997). In the research setting, self-report is generally a valid and reliable method of assessing alcohol consumption (Baboret al, 1987), particularly when it is elicited by a standardised method (e.g. Sobellet al, 1980) and the information is provided in confidence. In the clinical setting, however, the patient may report his or her version of past drinking subject to the demand characteristics of the situation, particularly if adverse consequences are likely to ensue (e.g. discharge from a treatment programme).

Alcohol’s effects on reactivity to stressors depend on the nature of the stressor and the reactivity being assessed. Research identifying characteristics of stressors that modulate reactivity and clarifies the neurobehavioral, cognitive, and affective components of this reactivity may help prevent, reduce or treat the negative impacts of acute and chronic alcohol use with implications for other psychopathology involving maladaptive reactivity to stressors. We used a novel, multi-measure, cued electric shock stressor paradigm in a greater university community sample of adult recreational drinkers to test how alcohol (N=64), compared to No-alcohol (N=64), affects reactivity to stressors that vary in both their perceived certainty and controllability. Preregistered analyses suggested alcohol significantly dampened subjective anxiety (self-report) and defensive reactivity (startle potentiation) more during uncertain than during certain stressors regardless of controllability, suggesting that stressor uncertainty —but not uncontrollability— may be sufficient to enhance alcohol’s stress reactivity dampening and thus negative reinforcement potential.
