Recent research indicates that individuals drank more heavily and experienced more harms on days they consumed alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmEDs). Limited research, thus far, has examined predictors of AmED use on a daily level. Drinking motives, or reasons for drinking, are shown to discern AmED users from non-users, but the extent to which daily drinking motives covary with AmED use has not been tested. The current study used a daily diary design to determine how motives differ between AmED and other drinking occasions. Participants included 122 college students (73.8% women) with a mean age of 20.39years. Participants completed up to 14 daily surveys, resulting in 389 drinking days (40days involved AmED use). Participants reported on their drinking motives at baseline as well as on each drinking day. Multilevel models revealed that, after controlling for other motives, AmED use was more likely on days where conformity motives were higher than usual and was less likely when enhancement motives were higher. Daily social and coping motives as well as all motives measured at baseline were unassociated with AmED use. Our findings suggest that conformity motives, or drinking to fit in with others, are the most salient drinking motive predicting AmED use on a drinking day. Given that conformity motives are often less associated with alcohol use outcomes in general, these findings highlight AmEDs as a unique alcoholic beverage. Clinicians and interventionists working with frequent AmED users should consider the unique conditions under which AmEDs are consumed.
最近的研究表明，个体在饮用酒精混合能量饮料（AmED）的日子里饮酒量更大，受到的伤害也更多。到目前为止，有限的研究已经检验了每日 AmED 使用的预测因素。饮酒动机，即饮酒的原因，被证明可以将 AmED 用户与非用户区分开来，但每日饮酒动机与 AmED 使用的相关性尚未得到检验。本研究使用每日日记设计来确定 AmED 和其他饮酒场合的动机有何不同。参与者包括 122 名大学生（73.8%为女性），平均年龄为 20.39 岁。参与者完成了多达 14 项每日调查，共涉及 389 个饮酒日（40 天涉及 AmED 使用）。参与者在基线时以及在每个饮酒日报告他们的饮酒动机。多层次模型显示，在控制了其他动机后，当符合动机比平时高时，AmED 使用更有可能，而当增强动机更高时，AmED 使用的可能性较小。每日社交和应对动机以及基线测量的所有动机与 AmED 使用无关。我们的研究结果表明，符合动机，即饮酒以适应他人，是预测每日 AmED 使用的最突出的饮酒动机。鉴于符合动机通常与一般的酒精使用结果相关性较低，这些发现突出了 AmED 作为一种独特的酒精饮料。与经常使用 AmED 的患者合作的临床医生和干预者应考虑 AmED 被消费的独特条件。
