Binge drinking and non-daily cigarette smoking are behaviors that are both problematic and prevalent in young adults. Although the relationship between drinking and daily smoking has been well categorized, the intersection between drinking and smoking in non-daily smokers has not been heavily researched. Past 30-day and within-episode patterns of alcohol and cigarette use were collected in young adult non-daily smokers (N=40). Results demonstrated that 79% of smoking occurred on drinking days. Alcohol use was significantly greater on smoking days with the result that drinking to risky binge levels was more likely to occur on a smoking day. Smoking typically occurred after a certain level of alcohol pre-load (2.87 drinks). Together these results confirm that young adult non-daily smokers often concurrently use alcohol and cigarettes. Research is needed to identify possible mechanisms underlying the association between binge drinking and cigarette use in this vulnerable population.
暴饮和非每日吸烟是在年轻人中既存在问题又普遍的行为。尽管饮酒与每日吸烟之间的关系已得到充分分类，但非每日吸烟者中饮酒与吸烟的交叉情况尚未得到大量研究。在年轻的非每日吸烟者（N = 40）中收集了过去30天内酒精和香烟使用的情况及饮酒期间的模式。结果表明，79%的吸烟发生在饮酒日。在吸烟日酒精使用量显著更高，结果是在吸烟日更有可能出现达到危险暴饮水平的饮酒情况。吸烟通常在达到一定酒精预负荷水平（2.87杯酒）后发生。这些结果共同证实，年轻的非每日吸烟者经常同时使用酒精和香烟。需要开展研究以确定这一脆弱人群中暴饮与吸烟之间关联的潜在机制。
