It is well known that alcohol consumption and abuse, as well as alcohol-induced problems, increase during difficult economic times. Previous studies showed increased alcohol consumption in the 2003 SARS outbreak in China. The review examines global changes in alcohol consumption under current SARS-CoV‑2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) pandemic.
The databases PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane Library, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Web of Science with a cut-off date of 11 January 2022 were used. An initial hit count of 791 publications was found. After reading the title and abstract, 62 texts were still eligible. After reviewing the full text, 40 studies were included in this review.
Study results were available from North and South America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. Increases as well as reductions in alcohol consumption were shown. Studies examining multiple waves of the pandemic found that alcohol consumption increased with duration of the pandemic. Binge drinking played a large role in this. There were very large regional differences in the increase in alcohol consumption: from about 10% of respondents to > 45%. In most studies, alcohol consumption was about the same for 40-50% of respondents and decreased for 30-40%.
Further study follow-ups under the continuing pandemic are relevant. Since the populations studied were predominantly of working age, occupational prevention measures of elevated stress levels for some of the respondents with increased alcohol consumption seem reasonable.
众所周知，在经济困难时期，酒精消费与滥用以及酒精引发的问题会增加。先前的研究表明，在中国2003年非典疫情期间酒精消费量有所增加。本综述考察了在当前新型冠状病毒肺炎（SARS-CoV-2）大流行情况下全球酒精消费的变化。
使用截至2022年1月11日的PubMed、Ovid、Cochrane图书馆、Scopus、PsycINFO和科学引文索引数据库。初步检索到791篇出版物。阅读标题和摘要后，仍有62篇文章符合条件。在审阅全文后，本综述纳入了40项研究。
研究结果来自北美洲、南美洲、欧洲、亚洲和大洋洲。酒精消费呈现出增加和减少的情况。考察疫情多波情况的研究发现，酒精消费随着疫情持续时间而增加。狂饮在其中起了很大作用。酒精消费增加的幅度存在很大的地区差异：从约10%的受访者到超过45%。在大多数研究中，40%-50%的受访者酒精消费量大致相同，30%-40%的受访者酒精消费量下降。
在持续的大流行情况下进行进一步的研究随访很有必要。由于所研究的人群主要是工作年龄人群，对一些酒精消费增加的受访者采取职业性的压力水平升高预防措施似乎是合理的。
