Abstract | Evidence shows an increase of heavy drinking among young and emerging adults with alcohol-specific death rates for males more than double those of females. Lifelong patterns of alcohol consumption are established during this period of emerging adulthood, but evidence indicates that there is usually a window of two to four years before the initial risky behaviour turns into harmful drinking. If appropriate intervening measures are put in place, this two-year window can result in a significant turnaround although it is not yet clear what these interventions are. Many of the existing programmes tend to focus on recovery rather than prevention and few are age relevant. |
