Alcoholism & binge drinking by Bev Adams https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i en-us 2022-05-02 17:27:36 UTC 2022-06-14 13:18:27 UTC hello@padlet.com The stereotype of someone with an addiction is a social deviant. Deviance is a sociological concept referring to behaviors that violate social rules and norms.Behavior that is perceived as socially deviant is highly stigmatized, which often causes as many or more problems for the person engaging in the behavior than the addiction itself — if there even is an addiction.Heroin use, for example, would be considered quite shocking in most social circumstances. However, in communities and sub-cultures where heroin use is common, it's not really socially deviant to take heroin. In fact, if your parents, friends, and neighbors all take it, taking heroin helps you to fit in with those around you.https://www.verywellmind.com/socially-acceptable-to-socially-deviant-addictions-22243 Kylee https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2168011318 2022-05-03 09:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2168011318 There is a growing consensus that binge drinking constitutes a very serious threat to the well being of many of today’s college students and has been characterized as the foremost public health hazard facing them. This study applied one of the leading sociological explanations of deviant behavior, social learning theory, to the problem of binge drinking in a sample of college students. https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/college-students-and-binge-drinking-evaluation-social-learning Kylee https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2168011798 2022-05-03 09:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2168011798 georgiaclarke99 https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2168052363 The prevalence and frequency of binge drinking among 334 first-year students at a private university were examined in relation to alcohol-related problems, social contexts of drinking, and personality characteristics. Binge drinking rates among the sample were higher than national averages and frequency of binge drinking was associated with more alcohol-related problems. Freshmen binge drinking, in general was related to social developmental factors involving peer and family influences, along with impulsiveness and thrill-seeking tendencies th non-binge drinkers. Frequent binge drinkers were more likely to use drinking as a coping behavior, to drink in more high-risk situations, a showed stronger tendencies toward disinhibition. Frequent binge drinking men were more likely to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors associated with their drinking. The findings further support the efficacy of the Social Context of Drinking construct (Beck, Thombs, & Summons 1993) in the study of abusive drinking patterns among young adults.

Community norms about drinking and drunkenness may influence individual drinking problems. Using data from the New York Social Environment Study (n = 4,000) conducted in 2005, the authors examined the relation between aspects of the neighborhood drinking culture and individual alcohol use. They applied methods to address social stratification and social selection, both of which are challenges to interpreting neighborhood research. In adjusted models, permissive neighborhood drinking norms were associated with moderate drinking (odds ratio (OR) = 1.28, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.05, 1.55) but not binge drinking; however, social network and individual drinking norms accounted for this association. By contrast, permissive neighborhood drunkenness norms were associated with more moderate drinking (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.39) and binge drinking (OR = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.44, 2.56); the binge drinking association remained after adjustment for social network and individual drunkenness norms (OR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.20, 2.08). Drunkenness norms were more strongly associated with binge drinking for women than for men (pinteraction = 0.006). Propensity distributions and adjustment for drinking history suggested that social stratification and social selection, respectively, were not plausible explanations for the observed results. Analyses that consider social and structural factors that shape harmful drinking may inform efforts targeting the problematic aspects of alcohol consumption.]]> 2022-05-03 09:58:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2168054133 jamosathuk https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2168094652 Alcohol is tolerated as a socially acceptable drug, yet it is responsible for most drug-related deaths in the teenage population. Alcohol is also associated with a variety of serious health risks. It’s difficult to prevent teenagers from experimenting with alcohol, but parents can encourage sensible drinking habits.

The current focus is on women and young people.

Binge Drinking: A confused concept and its contemporary history, Berridge et al, 2009

The focus of concern regarding alcohol and binge drinking has changed from men to women and young people...this could be suggested to have changed due to the rise of feminism and our now 'child centred' society...could it be deemed as a positive that the focus is on women due to concern or is it a concern...should the concern be equal?

The act of binge drinking will have different levels of concern and acceptability in different communities and cultures. For example, a 15 year old binge drinking would be concerning however for a university student living in halls binge drinking would be deemed as acceptable and the norm.

It dilutes and obscures a range of structural influences, such as the responsibility of governments and the liquor industry to provide adequate security for participants in the profitable night-time economy (Hackley et al. 2008; Hayward and Hobbs 2007)

Binge drinking is a very common behavior in this stage of life. Although the term “binge drinking” is widely used in contemporary society, there is no consensus definition and it has been used to describe rather different drinking patterns (Herring, Berridge, & Thom, 2008) Kylee https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2172411284 2022-05-06 04:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2172411284 Published studies routinely suggest that White college males are disproportionally involved in heavy drinking and alcohol-related problems and other forms of drug use(Peralta 2005; Terry-Mcelrath et al. 2009; Wechsler and Kuo 2003). In explaining thispattern, some scholars have suggested that White males may be conforming to perceived drinking expectancies. Such a conclusion is demonstrative of extant social inequalities which structure substance use patterns differently depending on social status. Reviewinglarger trends and consequences of alcohol-use by standard demographic characteristics produces an interesting socio-structural portrait of US society (Perulta and Juak, 2011) Kylee. https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2172413192 2022-05-06 04:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2172413192 https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2197924243 Plus, there have been reports of teachers drinking, sometime heavily, due to stress problems.]]> 2022-05-24 15:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jamosathuk/jpr498xrycexeu1i/wish/2197924243
