The global distribution of average volume of alcohol consumption and patterns of drinking.
Jürgen Rehm,Nina Rehn,Robin Room,Maristela Monteiro,Gerhard Gmel,David H. Jernigan,Ulrich Frick +6 more
TL;DR: Although exposure to alcohol varies considerably between regions, the overall exposure by volume is quite high and patterns are relatively detrimental, both with respect to average volume and to patterns of drinking.
Journal Article
Alcohol intake assessment: the sober facts.
TL;DR: Alcohol intake assessment methods were reviewed and it was found that methods that enquire about both the frequency and amount consumed, for beer, wine, and liquor, separately, will yield the most realistic levels of intake.

TL;DR: The results suggest the probable value of keeping alcoholics on NTX for longer periods of time and the importance of increasing compliance with NTX and support the earlier promising effects of CET and CST as adjuncts to treatment programs for alcoholics by maintaining treatment gains over at least a year.

Towards agreement on ways to measure and report drinking patterns and alcohol-related problems in adult general population surveys: the Skarpö conference overview.
Deborah A. Dawson,Robin Room +1 more
TL;DR: The goals of the meeting were to develop consensus sets of questionnaire items for measuring alcohol consumption and social harm, to delineate statistical and practical concerns related to the aggregation of consumption and harm data and to identify summary measures to be used for descriptive purposes and in analyses of the association between alcohol intake and alcohol-related outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risky single‐occasion drinking: bingeing is not bingeing
TL;DR: The concept of binge drinking as a measure of risky single occasion drinking (RSOD) is reviewed to illustrate its differential impact on selected health outcomes and to identify research gaps.

Health and Behavioral Consequences of Binge Drinking in College: A National Survey of Students at 140 Campuses
TL;DR: Binge drinking is widespread on college campuses and programs aimed at reducing this problem should focus on frequent binge drinkers, refer them to treatment or educational programs, and emphasize the harm they cause for students who are not binge drinkers.

Yedy Israel,Frederick B. Glaser,Harold Kalant,Robert E. Popham,Wolfgang Schmidt,Reginald G. Smart +5 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Review of moderate alcohol consumption and reduced risk of coronary heart disease: is the effect due to beer, wine, or spirits?
TL;DR: Results from observational studies provide strong evidence that all alcoholic drinks are linked with lower risk, so that much of the benefit is from alcohol rather than other components of each type of drink.
