The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nationwide lockdown during the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on an average volume of alcohol consumption and drinking patterns. A survey was conducted with a random sample of 4072 people. The authors found a significant influence of the pandemic period on alcohol consumption compared to the pre-pandemic period. The vast majority of respondents reduced the frequency of consumption of all types of alcohol. However, when the population was divided into subgroups, this differentiation demonstrated that particular groups are more vulnerable to alcohol misuse. Higher frequency of alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown was most often found in the group of men, people aged 18-24 years, inhabitants of big cities, and remote workers. Besides, significant differences were observed in subpopulations concerning different types of alcohol. Results emphasized the importance of monitoring and implementation of actions aimed at reducing the potential psychosocial impact of COVID-19, including alcohol-related disorders.
本研究旨在调查 2019 年新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间全国性封锁对平均酒精摄入量和饮酒模式的影响。采用随机抽样方法对 4072 人进行了调查。作者发现，与大流行前相比，大流行期间对饮酒量有显著影响。绝大多数受访者减少了所有类型酒精的消费频率。然而，当人群被分为亚组时，这种差异表明某些群体更容易出现酒精滥用。在 COVID-19 大流行封锁期间，饮酒频率更高的人通常是男性、18-24 岁的人、大城市居民和远程工作者。此外，不同亚人群在不同类型的酒精方面也存在显著差异。结果强调了监测和实施旨在减少 COVID-19 带来的潜在心理社会影响的行动的重要性，包括与酒精相关的障碍。
