: With the potentiality of excessive Internet usage being associated with adverse consequences, the current study assessed adverse outcomes of combined Internet and alcohol misuse. : We hypothesized that participants who simultaneously engage in both alcohol and Internet use would experience adverse outcomes from their actions, compared to those who just misuse the Internet in the absence of alcohol. : The current study deployed an anonymous online survey comprised of scales measuring several domains such as impulsivity, neglect of responsibilities, depression, frequency and quantity of alcohol consumption, as well as Internet usage. From a large ( = 550) sample of college student surveys, we compared the 39 Internet drinkers with a randomly selected sampled of 39 non-drinking counterparts. : Relative to their non-drinking counterparts, Internet Drinkers were elevated on measures of alcohol misuse and some features of Internet addiction, but not depression. : Of the final sample, 64.7% of those who drank alcohol while using the Internet indicated doing something they later regretted while online. Further exploration is warranted to more fully understand how non-substance compulsive behaviors can be misused and how they interact with substance misuse and co-occurring mental health issues.
: 由于过度使用互联网可能会带来不良后果，本研究评估了同时滥用互联网和酒精的不良后果。 : 我们假设，与仅在没有酒精的情况下滥用互联网的人相比，同时饮酒和使用互联网的参与者会因其行为而遭受不良后果。 : 本研究采用了匿名在线调查，其中包括衡量冲动、忽视责任、抑郁、饮酒频率和数量以及互联网使用等几个领域的量表。从一个大型（ = 550）大学生调查样本中，我们将 39 名互联网饮酒者与随机选择的 39 名非饮酒者进行了比较。 : 与非饮酒者相比，互联网饮酒者在酒精滥用和一些网络成瘾特征方面的得分更高，但在抑郁方面则没有。 : 在最终样本中，64.7%的同时饮酒和上网的人表示，他们在上网时做了一些事后后悔的事情。需要进一步探索如何滥用非物质强迫性行为，以及它们如何与物质滥用和同时存在的心理健康问题相互作用。
