Drinking alone in youth is a strong predictor of problematic alcohol use in later life, new research suggests. SubstanceAbuse
Many alcohol screening tools contain only questions about frequency and quantity of drinking, but one underappreciated risk factor for the development of problematic drinking is the social context in which adolescents and young adults consume alcohol, Creswell said.
The students usually complete the survey during a high school class period and then approximately 2400 are randomly selected from each cohort and followed up for 17 years. Compared with their peers who only drank in social settings, the odds of AUD symptoms at age 35 was 35% higher for adolescents who drank alone.
The results of developing severe AUD symptoms were even more robust for group of young adults aged 23-24 years who drank alone, Creswell noted.
