There are thousands of e-liquid flavors available, and some are named after alcohol beverages (e.g., "pina colada"). It is unclear whether use of e-liquids with alcohol beverage names is associated with adolescent alcohol use. E-cigarettes and alcohol are co-used in adolescents; therefore, it is important to investigate these associations.
Eight Southeastern Connecticut high schools were surveyed in Spring 2015 (N = 7045). We examined the association between preference for using e-liquid flavors and alcohol drinking status (i.e., no past month alcohol use, past month alcohol use but no binge drinking, and past month binge drinking) in ever e-cigarette users (N = 1311).
Among ever e-cigarette users who preferred using e-liquids with alcohol beverage names (N = 111), 30.6 % had no past month alcohol use, 19.8 % had past month alcohol use but did not binge drink in the past month, and 49.5 % binge drank in the past month. Multinomial logistic regression (controlling for demographics and including other e-cigarette flavors that were highly endorsed, i.e., fruit and candy) revealed that the preferences of alcohol beverage-named-e-liquid (OR: 2.84, CI: 1.70-4.75) and fruit flavored e-liquids (OR: 1.55, CI: 1.14-2.11), but not candy flavored e-liquids was associated with past-month binge drinking compared to no past-month alcohol use.
This evidence suggests that the preference for using alcohol beverage- and fruit-named e-liquid flavors is associated with past-month binge drinking among adolescents. Understanding the associations between alcohol beverage-named e-liquids and alcohol use in adolescents may help inform tobacco regulatory strategies that aim to decrease the use/appeal of e-cigarettes.
目前有上千种电子烟液口味，其中一些以酒精饮料命名（如“菠萝可娜”）。目前尚不清楚使用含有酒精饮料名称的电子烟液是否与青少年饮酒有关。青少年同时使用电子烟和酒精；因此，研究这些关联很重要。
2015 年春季对康涅狄格州东南部的 8 所高中进行了调查（N=7045）。我们调查了电子烟使用者（N=1311）中对电子烟液口味的偏好与饮酒状况（即过去一个月无饮酒、过去一个月饮酒但不 binge drinking、过去一个月 binge drinking）之间的关联。
在过去一个月使用过电子烟液且偏好使用含酒精饮料名称的电子烟液的使用者中（N=111），30.6%过去一个月无饮酒，19.8%过去一个月饮酒但 binge drinking 量未达过去一个月的量，49.5%过去一个月 binge drinking。多变量逻辑回归（控制人口统计学因素，并包括其他高度认可的电子烟液口味，即水果和糖果）显示，含酒精饮料名称的电子烟液（OR：2.84，CI：1.70-4.75）和水果味电子烟液（OR：1.55，CI：1.14-2.11）的偏好与过去一个月 binge drinking 有关，而与过去一个月无饮酒有关。
这项证据表明，青少年使用含酒精饮料和水果名称的电子烟液的偏好与过去一个月 binge drinking 有关。了解含酒精饮料名称的电子烟液与青少年饮酒之间的关联可能有助于为减少电子烟使用/吸引力的烟草监管策略提供信息。
