Binge drinking constitutes a significant public health concern. Defined as the consumption of five or more alcoholic beverages on a single occasion, binge drinking leads to acute cognitive and motor impairments and is associated with a multitude of detrimental health consequences. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse globally published peer-reviewed literature on binge drinking.
A thorough search of the Scopus database was conducted to gather all the relevant research. Keywords related to binge drinking were used to locate a wide range of studies. Specific criteria were subsequently applied to narrow the results, ensuring the inclusion of only the most relevant articles. This process yielded a collection of 2,763 research papers. Finally, a software program called VOSviewer was utilized to analyse and visualize the connections between these studies.
A bibliometric analysis was performed to investigate trends in binge drinking research literature published between 1980 and 2024. The findings revealed a significant increase in publications (R²=0.916; p < 0.001), with a peak in 2018 (191 articles). The majority (89.65%, n = 2,477) were research articles, followed by review articles (4.74%, n = 131). Authors from 139 countries contributed to binge-drinking research, with the USA (n = 1,550; 56.1%) and the UK (n = 216; 7.82%) leading in the volume of publications. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (n = 65; 2.35%) and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (n = 63; 2.28%) emerged as the main institutional contributors. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism in the United States was the main funding source, supporting 599 articles (21.68%), followed by the National Institutes of Health in the United States, with 544 articles (19.69%). In particular, the post-2016 period witnessed a shift in research themes toward mechanistic investigations alongside studies on societal interventions, reflecting a growing focus on mitigating the broader social impact of binge drinking.
This study is the first comprehensive analysis of trends in binge drinking research. Over the past decade, binge drinking has increased dramatically, led by the United States, the UK, and Spain. Initially, focused on social and cultural factors, research shifted after 2016 to mechanistic and animal models, shaping future research directions and strategies.
暴饮是一个重大的公共卫生问题。暴饮被定义为单次饮用五杯或更多酒精饮料，会导致急性认知和运动障碍，并与多种有害健康后果相关。因此，本研究的目的是分析全球发表的关于暴饮的同行评审文献。
对Scopus数据库进行全面检索以收集所有相关研究。使用与暴饮相关的关键词来查找广泛的研究。随后应用特定标准来缩小结果范围，确保仅纳入最相关的文章。这一过程产生了2763篇研究论文的集合。最后，使用一个名为VOSviewer的软件程序来分析和可视化这些研究之间的联系。
进行了文献计量分析，以调查1980年至2024年期间发表的暴饮研究文献的趋势。研究结果显示出版物数量显著增加（R² = 0.916；p < 0.001），2018年达到峰值（191篇文章）。大多数（89.65%，n = 2477）是研究论文，其次是综述文章（4.74%，n = 131）。来自139个国家的作者为暴饮研究做出了贡献，美国（n = 1550；56.1%）和英国（n = 216；7.82%）在出版物数量上领先。美国国立酒精滥用与酒精中毒研究所（n = 65；2.35%）和北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校（n = 63；2.28%）是主要的机构贡献者。美国国立酒精滥用与酒精中毒研究所是主要的资金来源，支持了599篇文章（21.68%），其次是美国国立卫生研究院，有544篇文章（19.69%）。特别是，2016年之后的时期见证了研究主题向机制研究以及社会干预研究的转变，这反映出对减轻暴饮更广泛社会影响的日益关注。
本研究是对暴饮研究趋势的首次全面分析。在过去十年中，暴饮现象急剧增加，以美国、英国和西班牙为首。最初，研究集中在社会和文化因素上，2016年后转向机制和动物模型，这塑造了未来的研究方向和策略。
