Objective: To determine trends in beer, wine, and liquor consumption among Spanish adolescents in 2002, 2006, and 2010, as well as drunkenness trends during the same period.
Method: The study sample was composed of 23,169 adolescents aged 15 to 18 years old: 7,103 in 2002, 10,443 in 2006 and 5,623 in 2010. In the three time points of the study, the data were representative of Spanish adolescent students. We used the alcohol consumption questionnaire designed by the international team of the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study. We estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals through logistic regressions.
Results: The main results showed a decrease in frequent consumption of wine and liquor from 2002 to 2010. This decrease was maintained after controlling for the variability due to the participants' gender and age. However, an increasing trend was found in drunkenness episodes in the different cohorts of the adolescents under study.
Conclusions: The results of this study are of particular importance in the analysis of the effects of the public health policies implemented during this time period. We also found changes in consumption patterns of the various alcoholic drinks, which may constitute key information in the design of new public health policies.

Background/objectives: Alcohol consumption and poor dietary habits are on the rise in the United States, posing significant challenges to public health due to their contribution to chronic diseases such as liver failure. While associations between alcohol consumption patterns and diet quality have been explored, the relationship between specific alcoholic beverage types and diet quality remains underexamined. This study aims to compare diet quality among consumers of different alcoholic beverage types.

Background: Alcohol pricing policies can reduce population-level alcohol consumption. To inform these policies, it is essential to understand the price per standard alcoholic drink of the least expensive brands. This study focused on prices of ready-to-drink products because of their accessibility, popularity among young people, and market expansion in recent years.

We developed a sustainable method to extract the red biocolorant from dye sorghum leaf sheaths for dyeing , a West African soft cheese. The pigments were extracted using three different solvents: commercial ethanol (method A), (a local liquor distilled from palm wine; method B) and aqueous alkaline solvent (method C). In methods A and B, a pot still was used to distil and collect the solvent for reuse.

During the process of fruit wine production, yeast plays a crucial role in influencing the taste, flavor, and overall quality of the wine. This study aims to enhance the flavor and quality of loquat wine by isolating strains of Pichia kudriavzevii (P. kudriavzevii) with desirable winemaking characteristics from loquat fruit fermentation broth.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the best conditions for producing Spirulina blended liquor (SBL) and Spirulina fermented wine (SFW), focusing on maximizing polysaccharide yield using response surface methodology.
- The optimal preparation for SBL involved a liquor base of 42% vol, ultrasonication for 37 minutes at 80 W, resulting in polysaccharide and alcohol contents of 0.2181 g/L and 39.7% vol, respectively.
- For SFW, the ideal fermentation took place at 22°C with a 4% inoculum over 6 days, yielding higher polysaccharide (8.533 g/L) but lower alcohol content (11.2% vol), with SFW showing better antioxidant properties
