Article Abstract
Background: For more than a decade, a large proportion of research on caffeine use in college students has focused on energy drinks (ED), demonstrating an association between ED consumption and heavy/problem alcohol use. The present study examined the relationship between daily coffee consumption and varied measures of alcohol use and problems in a sample of college women.
Methods: Participants were undergraduate females (N=360) attending an urban university in 2001-02 and prior to the rise in ED popularity on college campuses. Analyses compared women who reported drinking coffee daily (DC; 16.9%), to women who did not (NDC; 83.1%) on standardized measures of alcohol use and problems.
Results: For both past month and year of drinking, DC women generally reported consuming more alcohol and were 2.1-2.6 times more likely to screen at risk for alcohol problems than their NDC counterparts. DC women were also more likely than NDC women to report problems related to drinking (e.g., experiencing blackouts, inability to stop drinking after they had started).
Conclusions: Findings support potential benefits of health education and screening that goes beyond EDs, focusing on varied forms of caffeine consumption.

Alcohol use disorders and pneumonia: susceptibility and severity.

Introduction: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) represents a major public health issue that produces far-reaching physiological effects. AUD is an underappreciated, yet critical risk factor clinicians need to be aware of and screen for to integrate preventive and therapeutic strategies when dealing with pneumonia in this vulnerable population. This research paper investigates the link between AUD and pneumonia by examining both the elevated risk of lung infection and the intensified disease severity.

Background: Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is conceptualized as a dimensional phenomenon in the DSM-5, but electronic health records (EHRs) rely on binary AUD definitions according to the ICD-10. The present study classifies AUD severity levels using EHR data and tests whether increasing AUD severity levels are linked with increased comorbidity.
Methods: Billing data from two German statutory health insurance companies in Hamburg included n = 21,954 adults diagnosed with alcohol-specific conditions between 2017 and 2021.
Background: Since the discovery of ABO blood groups, there has been mounting evidence of the association between blood groups and diseases. However, so far, there is rarely available research about the potential role of ABO blood groups in alcohol liver disease (ALD). This study's aim was to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups and the development of ALD in Qingdao, China.

Risk assessments performed in the context of community supervision provide a unique opportunity to identify characteristics associated with high-risk domestic violence (DV) offenders. To date, however, few studies have used such data to explore the factors that differentiate offenders who have engaged in nonfatal strangulation (NFS) to other less severe forms of DV. Using data from the Wisconsin Risk Need assessment, the present study compares risk and need factors for offenders sentenced to probation for an offense involving NFS to a misdemeanor DV offense ( = 909).

Introduction: Current treatments for alcohol use disorders (AUD) have limited efficacy. A previous 28-day pilot trial of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) vs placebo found NAC to be feasible and safe, with evidence of improvement on some measures of alcohol consumption. Thus, the primary aim of the NAC-AUD study is to examine the therapeutic and cost-effectiveness of NAC vs placebo in improving treatment outcomes for AUD.
