Objective: To investigate patterns of wine consumption among hazardous drinkers before and after pregnancy recognition.

Study Design: Using a standard alcohol survey, hazardous drinking was defined as either frequent or binge drinking with related consequences. Patients identified at our clinic during their first prenatal visit as being hazardous drinkers were interviewed during the prenatal and postpartum periods. The numbers of drinking days and drinks per drinking day were sought before and after pregnancy recognition.

Results: A total of 203 of 4494 women met the criteria as hazardous drinkers before pregnancy recognition and completed the prenatal and postpartum interviews. Wine was consumed by approximately one fourth (49, 24.1%) of these women, usually with other alcoholic beverages (45, 91.8%). Wine alone was not consumed heavily. Nearly half (46.9%) continued their wine consumption after pregnancy confirmation, although the numbers of drinking days and drinks per drinking day became significantly lower than before pregnancy awareness (p < 0.01). Thirty-five hazardous drinkers switched to wine after pregnancy recognition.

Conclusion: Hazardous drinkers were inclined to drink wine with other alcoholic beverages yet tended to abstain or minimize consumption after pregnancy recognition.

Insomnia is a risk factor for hazardous drinking, yet the mechanisms underlying this risk are not well characterized. Two factors that might contribute to the relationship between insomnia and drinking are stress and depression. Insomnia is strongly associated with increased stress and depression, which are, in turn, strongly linked to hazardous drinking.

Heavy alcohol consumption is a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D), However, the moderating effect of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels remains unclear. This study explores the relationship between alcohol intake and T2D risk across FPG strata in a Japanese cohort. Data from 15,453 participants in the NAGALA cohort were analyzed over 5.

Background: Digital and wearable intervention systems promise to improve how people manage their behavioral health conditions by making interventions available when the user can best benefit from them. However, existing interventions are obtrusive because they require attention and motivation to engage in, limiting the effectiveness of such systems in demanding contexts, such as when the user experiences alcohol craving. Mindless interventions, developed by the human-computer interaction community, offer an opportunity to intervene unobtrusively.

Background: Association between light to moderate alcohol consumption and colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence remains understudied, especially regarding drinking pattern, beverage type and temporal aspects.

Methods: Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for time to CRC diagnosis were estimated among 137,710 participants. Estimates based on remote (eg, >10 years before follow-up) and recent (eg, the preceding 10 years before follow-up) alcohol intake, using different cutoffs (eg, 8, 10, 12 years, etc) and mutual adjustment, enabled separating independent effects and investigating time lag of alcohol-CRC association.
