Early and late-night alcohol consumption are linked to significant social and personal problems. Understanding these temporal drinking patterns is crucial for public health interventions targeting alcohol-related risks.

Area of Science:

  • Social Science
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Temporal drinking patterns significantly influence social and personal outcomes.
  • Understanding the timing of alcohol consumption is vital for public health research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine temporal drinking patterns among US adults.
  • To identify characteristics associated with early (6 a.m.-3 p.m.) and late-night (midnight-6 a.m.) drinking.
  • To assess the association between these drinking patterns and alcohol-related problems.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from a large sample of US adults (n=16086).
  • Categorization of drinking times (early, daytime, evening, late-night).
  • Logistic regression models to adjust for demographic, intake, and frequency variables.

Main Results:

  • 60.3% of regular drinkers consumed alcohol after 6 p.m., while 1.2% drank between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m.
  • Early and late-night drinking were associated with male gender, Black race, lower education/income, and heavy ethanol intake.
  • Early drinking increased odds of interpersonal problems (54%), hazardous use (39%), and legal issues (52%).
  • Late-night drinking showed significant associations with interpersonal problems, hazardous use, and job/school issues, with stronger effects than early drinking.

Conclusions:

  • Temporal drinking patterns, particularly early and late-night consumption, are associated with increased risks of alcohol-related problems.
  • These associations persist after adjusting for key demographic and consumption factors.
  • Interventions should consider the timing of alcohol intake when addressing alcohol-related harm.
