Summary: Parental supply of alcohol is associated with alcohol-related harms and severity of alcohol use disorder in Thai middle school students. Supply of alcohol from peers and siblings plays an important role in both outcomes. An increasing number of sources of alcohol supply increases the risk of alcohol-related harm and severity of alcohol use disorder.

Summary: This study developed a new method to induce reward-related impulsivity and experimentally manipulated positive alcohol expectancies to examine their role in drinking behavior. The results showed that the induced reward-related impulsivity was associated with reduced self-efficacy in refusing alcohol, and the manipulation of positive alcohol expectancies had a marginal effect. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the causal role of reward-related impulsivity in alcohol-related cognition and youth drinking.

Summary: Binge drinking is a common practice among college students. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between binge drinking and depressive symptoms and personality traits in university students. The results showed that binge drinking students had higher levels of extraversion and lower levels of conscientiousness compared to non-binge drinking students. However, there were no significant differences in the level of depressive symptoms between the two groups.

Summary: The nerve growth factor (NGF) is a member of the neurotrophic factor family, involved in the survival, differentiation, proliferation of neurons, as well as the regulation of immune and endocrine systems. Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) caused by heavy drinking have negative effects on brain development and cognitive functions, and can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) when consumed during pregnancy.
