Binge drinking (BD) is a common pattern of alcohol consumption among adolescents. At present few data are available on the possible relationship between BD and alcohol use disorders (AUD) in adolescents. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of BD and relationship between BD behavior and AUD among adolescents. A total of 2704 students attending 10 purposively selected high schools from three Italian provinces were surveyed. Questionnaires regarding socio-demographic data, pattern and amount of alcohol intake, smoking habits, use of illicit drugs, and physical activity were administered. AUD and affective disorders were also evaluated. Alcohol intake was reported by 2126 participants; 1278 reported at least one episode BD in the last year and 715 in the last month. A diagnosis of AUD was made in 165 adolescents. The prevalence of AUD was higher in adolescents that reported BD behavior than in those that did not report BD (11.6% vs 0.9%, respectively; p < 0.0001). Logistic regression showed a positive relationship between a diagnosis of AUD and BD behavior (OR 9.6; 95% CI 4.7-22·9; p < 0.0001). In conclusion alcohol consumption with the pattern of BD among adolescents is highly related to development of AUD.
binge drinking (BD) 是青少年中常见的饮酒模式。目前，关于青少年 binge drinking 与酒精使用障碍 (AUD) 之间可能存在的关系的数据很少。本研究旨在评估青少年 binge drinking 的流行率以及 binge drinking 行为与 AUD 之间的关系。共有 2704 名学生参加了来自意大利三个省份的 10 所指定高中的调查。问卷调查了社会人口统计学数据、饮酒模式和数量、吸烟习惯、非法药物使用和体育活动。还评估了 AUD 和情感障碍。2126 名参与者报告了饮酒情况；1278 名参与者在过去一年中有至少一次 binge drinking 发作，715 名参与者在过去一个月中有 binge drinking 发作。165 名青少年被诊断为 AUD。报告 binge drinking 行为的青少年中 AUD 的患病率高于未报告 binge drinking 行为的青少年（分别为 11.6%和 0.9%；p<0.0001）。逻辑回归显示 AUD 的诊断与 binge drinking 行为之间存在正相关（OR 9.6；95% CI 4.7-22·9；p<0.0001）。总之，青少年 binge drinking 与 AUD 的发生高度相关。
