Measuring Global Alcohol Health Literacy: A Narrative Review
CONCLUSIONS: The current state of the research literature makes it impossible to identify patterns of alcohol health literacy globally or even to compare intra-country studies across time. We recommend that a database of standard, validated questions for assessing knowledge about the relationship between alcohol and several key health outcomes be assembled and made available to the research community.PMID:34100699

Statement on new CMO guidelines on low risk drinking
Alcohol Research UK welcomes the new guidelines by the UK Chief Medical Officers and calls for a public debate to increase understanding on the levels of risk associated with alcohol consumption. Alcohol Research UK welcomes the new CMO guidelines on low-risk drinking, which are strongly informed by recent research on the health effects of alcohol consumption at all levels. The evidence of the association between alcohol and cancer has become stronger in recent years and shows that some cancer risks start to increase with any amount of alcohol consumption – though those risks are usually low to start with.  Acknowle...

Cigarette Smoking and Alcohol use as Predictors of Disability Retirement: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Tobacco use and excess alcohol consumption are both risk factors for several chronic diseases. Tobacco use is a leading preventable risk factor for premature mortality (World Health Organization (WHO), 2009), accounting for 18% of deaths in high-income countries (WHO, 2009a,b), and being second only to high blood pressure globally (9% vs. 13% of deaths, respectively). Smoking raises the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancers (WHO, 2009a,b). Compared to never smokers, smokers have a 25-fold risk of death due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a 2.5-fold risk due to ischemic heart ...

Does comparing alcohol use along a single dimension obscure within-group differences? Investigating men's hazardous drinking by sexual orientation and race/ethnicity
Frequent or high-volume alcohol consumption (i.e., heavy drinking) has long been an important public health concern as it has been associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal disease, some cancers, stroke, and cognitive impairment (Boffetta and Hashibe, 2006; Meyerhoff et al., 2005; Thakker, 1998). Heavy drinking may also exert indirectly harmful effects through associations with inter-personal violence (Caetano et al., 2001; Lipsky et al., 2005; Testa et al., 2003), motor-vehicle crashes (Blomberg et al., 2009; Hingson and Winter, 2003; Peck et al., 2008; Zador et al., 2000), and risky sexual behaviors (Bimbi et al...

Chronic diseases and conditions related to alcohol use.
Authors: Shield KD, Parry C, Rehm J Abstract Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for many chronic diseases and conditions. The average volume of alcohol consumed, consumption patterns, and quality of the alcoholic beverages consumed likely have a causal impact on the mortality and morbidity related to chronic diseases and conditions. Twenty-five chronic disease and condition codes in the International Classification of Disease (ICD)-10 are entirely attributable to alcohol, and alcohol plays a component-risk role in certain cancers, other tumors, neuropsychiatric conditions, and numerous cardiovascular and digestiv...
