背景：南非的重度间歇性饮酒（HED）患病率很高。由于酒精滥用及暴力事件严重，公立医院深切治疗部在COVID-19疫情期间经常人满为患。这项研究调查了不同程度的封锁限制期间酒精摄入行为的变化，其中包括禁止酒类销售。方法：一项自我报告的Facebook调查于2020年7月至11月进行。这些问题包括社会人口统计学、收入、酒精摄入量、购买行为和推理。分类数据采用卡方检验/Fisher精确检验，正态连续数据采用Student t检验，非正态数据采用Mann-Whitney U检验。对HED与中度饮酒者进行多因素logistic回归分析。结果：共有798人参加了调查，其中68.4%是女性。近50%的参与者属于HED类别，大多数人在限制期间非法购买酒精。HED的受访者在限制期间比平时喝更多的酒，他们报告说，他们感到压力，需要放松，感到无聊。结论：旨在提高酒精价格的政策可能会减少酒精摄入量。减少压力和焦虑可能是在紧急情况下减少HED的关键。
Background: South Africa has a high prevalence of heavy episodic drinking (HED). Due to the high levels of alcohol misuse and violence, public hospital intensive care units were often overrun during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research investigated alcohol intake behaviour change during differing levels of lockdown restrictions, which included bans on alcohol sales. Methods: A self-reported Facebook survey ran from July to November 2020. The questions included socio-demographics, income, alcohol intake, purchasing behaviour, and reasoning. Chi-square tests/Fisher’s exact test for categorical data, Student’s t-test for normal continuous data, and the Mann–Whitney U test for non-normal data were applied. Multiple logistic regression was run for HED versus moderate drinkers. Results: A total of 798 participants took part in the survey, of which 68.4% were female. Nearly 50% of participants fell into the HED category and the majority bought alcohol illegally during restrictions. HED respondents who drank more alcohol than usual during restrictions reported that they felt stressed, needed to relax, and were bored. Conclusions: Policies intended to increase the pricing of alcohol may have the potential to reduce alcohol intake. Reducing stress and anxiety may be key to curtailing HED during emergency situations.
