A new study shows that drinking alone during adolescence and young adulthood strongly increases risk for alcohol use disorder later in life.
A new study found that drinking alone during adolescence and young adulthood strongly increases the risk for alcohol use disorder later in life. This risk is especially high for women. The results of the research from Carnegie Mellon University are available in the July issue of the journal“Most young people who drink do it with others in social settings, but a substantial minority of young people are drinking alone.
Creswell joined Yvonne Terry-McElrath and Megan Patrick at the University of Michigan to analyze data from the Monitoring the Future study, an ongoing epidemiological study of drug and alcohol use among American youth followed into adulthood. Approximately 4,500 adolescents responded to surveys asking about their patterns of alcohol use and whether they consumed alcohol while alone.
About 25% of adolescents and 40% of young adults reported drinking alone. These findings suggest that targeted interventions may be helpful to educate and inform these groups, especially young women, of the risks of solitary drinking to prevent the development of AUD in the future.
