Social media use and texting among college students often coincide with drinking. The present study investigated the associations between monthly alcohol use, social media habits, sharing alcohol references, and drunk texting among Hispanic college students. Participants ( = 620, 71.6% female; = 21.07 years, = 3.60) completed an online survey containing: demographics, drug use frequency, Sharing of Alcohol-Related Content on Social Media Sites Scale (SARC), Texting Under the Influence Scale, Strategic Self Presentation Scale, Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, and iPhone Screen Time. Bivariate correlations assessed relationships between all variables. Six logistic regressions assessed subscales of the SARC, and a linear regression assessed the Texting Under the Influence Scale. Almost 15% of participants met criteria for social media addiction, almost 40% reported ever sharing alcohol posts, and approximately 20% reported drunk texting at least once per month. Participants with iPhones averaged 16.84 weekly hours on social media (based on "screen time"). Frequently posting references of drinking alone was associated with more time on social media, higher social media addiction, and greater public sharing of alcohol content. Conversely, posting references of drinking at social gatherings was associated with privately sharing alcohol references and increased social media addiction. Drunk texting was related to increased age, greater Instagram use, decreased Facebook use, and privately sharing alcohol posts. Findings suggest patterns of drinking and sharing alcohol-related content to inform health promotion efforts, especially while many during COVID-19 are heightening use of alcohol and social media.
大学生使用社交媒体和发短信的行为常常与饮酒同时出现。本研究调查了西班牙裔大学生每月饮酒量、社交媒体使用习惯、分享与酒精相关的内容以及醉酒短信之间的关联。参与者（n = 620，71.6%为女性；平均年龄 = 21.07岁，标准差 = 3.60）完成了一项在线调查，该调查包含：人口统计学信息、药物使用频率、社交媒体上与酒精相关内容的分享量表（SARC）、受影响下短信量表、策略性自我呈现量表、卑尔根社交媒体成瘾量表以及iPhone屏幕使用时间。双变量相关性分析评估了所有变量之间的关系。六项逻辑回归分析评估了SARC的子量表，一项线性回归分析评估了受影响下短信量表。近15%的参与者符合社交媒体成瘾标准，近40%的人报告曾分享过酒精相关帖子，约20%的人报告每月至少有一次醉酒短信。使用iPhone的参与者平均每周在社交媒体上花费16.84小时（基于“屏幕使用时间”）。经常单独发布饮酒相关内容与在社交媒体上花费更多时间、更高的社交媒体成瘾程度以及更多地公开分享酒精相关内容有关。相反，发布社交聚会上饮酒相关内容与私下分享酒精相关内容以及增加的社交媒体成瘾有关。醉酒短信与年龄增长、更多使用Instagram、减少使用Facebook以及私下分享酒精相关帖子有关。研究结果表明了饮酒和分享酒精相关内容的模式，可为健康促进工作提供信息，尤其是在新冠疫情期间许多人增加酒精和社交媒体使用的情况下。
