Han BH, et al. - Given the correlation of binge drinking with the risk of a range of harms, researchers sought to determine the national prevalence of binge drinking and its correlates among older adults in the United States. They performed cross-sectional analysis among a total of 10,927 adults, aged 65 years or older, from the 2015 to 2017 administrations of the US National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Of these, they identified 10.6% as current binge drinkers. Compared with nonbinge drinkers, binge drinkers more frequently comprised males and those having a higher prevalence of current tobacco and/or cannabis use, and having a lower prevalence of two or more chronic diseases. Multivariable analysis among past-month alcohol users showed higher prevalence of binge drinking among non-Hispanic African Americans than whites, tobacco users, cannabis users, and those who visited the emergency department in the past year. Findings emphasize screening for binge drinking behaviors as significant among older adults to minimize harms.
