Objectives: To determine the opinions of urban parents on alcohol drinking in teenagers and their positioning regarding the legal restrictive measures.
Material And Methods: We performed a qualitative study of six focal groups including 42 mothers and fathers of adolescents from six different Spanish regions and from diverse social strata. The quantitative part of the study consisted of a 1-10 scale questionnaire, measuring parents' acceptance and opinion about legal measures restricting underage drinking. Means and standard deviation were calculated.
Results: Parents did not consider adolescent alcohol drinking to be a problem so long as it was moderate and leisure time-related. The social and cultural context was permissive with the alcohol consumption. Alcohol intake depended on both external (social pressure) and internal (family) factors. Fathers' preferred to exercise authority, while mothers preferred communication and education skills. Parents approved of teachers' interventions, especially when based on the student's overall education and not restricted to knowledge transmission. Public institutions and authorities were held responsible for adolescents' lack of information, the scarcity of leisure-time alternatives and for not ensuring compliance with current regulations. Parents approved restrictions regarding the sale and advertising of alcohol.
Conclusions: Parents recognize adolescent alcohol drinking as a problem and tend to deal with it. Parents use distinct intervention strategies and generally approve legal measures.

Assessing self-determined motivation for drinking alcohol via the Comprehensive Relative Autonomy Index for Drinking.
Front Psychol
January 2025
Department of Kinesiology, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA, United States.
Introduction: Self-Determination Theory (SDT) examines human motivation in multiple domains; however, the only existing measure assessing SDT-informed behavioral regulations for drinking focuses on responsible drinker behaviors, rather than drinking , which is important given the alignment between SDT and harm reduction approaches to alcohol use. The aim of this study was to test the structural validity of the SDT-informed Comprehensive Relative Autonomy Index for Drinking (CRAI-Drinking) among college students.
Methods: Participants included two convenience samples with a total of 630 adult drinkers (M = 21.
Real-time mechanism-based interventions for daily alcohol challenges: Protocol for ecological momentary assessment and intervention.

Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Central Institute of Mental Health, Medical Faculty Mannheim/Heidelberg University, Mannheim, Germany.
Background: Advancing evidence-based, tailored interventions for substance use disorders (SUDs) requires understanding temporal directionality while upholding ecological validity. Previous studies identified loneliness and craving as pivotal factors associated with alcohol consumption, yet the precise directionality of these relationships remains ambiguous.
Objective: This study aims to establish a smartphone-based real-life intervention platform that integrates momentary assessment and intervention into everyday life.
Estimating mortality attributable to alcohol or tobacco - a cohort study from Germany.
Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy
January 2025
Dep Prevention Research and Social Medicine, University Medicine Greifswald, Institute of Community Medicine, W.-Rathenau-Str. 48, 17475, Greifswald, Germany.
Background: Little is known about mortality from four disorder combinations: fully attributable to alcohol or tobacco, partly attributable to both alcohol and tobacco, to tobacco only, to alcohol only.
Aim: To analyze whether residents who had disclosed risky alcohol drinking or daily tobacco smoking had a shorter time to death than non-risky drinkers and never daily smokers twenty years later according to the disorder combinations.
Methods: A random adult general population sample (4,075 study participants) of a northern German area had been interviewed in the years 1996-1997.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between drinking patterns and prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) among adults in the United States.
Methods: Data were analyzed from the NHANES surveys conducted between 1999 and 2016, including 26,473 participants. Drinking patterns were categorized by frequency (weekly, monthly, or yearly) and quantity (light, moderate, or heavy, based on daily consumption).

The ventral striatum is crucially involved in reward processing. The present study investigates the behavioral effects of astrocyte-specific calcium extrusion virus "CalEx" on perseverative responses in the operant five-choice serial reaction time task and ethanol-conditioned place preference. Mice were injected with CalEx via the GfaABCD promoter to extrude cytosolic calcium from astrocytes within the ventral striatum.
