Social media is a central context in which teens interact with their peers, creating opportunities for them to view, post, and engage with alcohol content. Given that adolescent peer interactions largely occur on social media, perceptions of peer alcohol content posting may act as potent risk factors for adolescent alcohol use. Accordingly, the pre-registered aims of this study were to (1) compare perceived friend, typical person, and an adolescent’s own posting of alcohol content to social media, and (2) examine how these perceptions prospectively relate to alcohol willingness, expectancies, and use after accounting for offline perceived peer alcohol use. This longitudinal study included 435 adolescents (M age=16.91) in 11th (48%) and 12th grade (52%). Participants completed measures of alcohol content social media posts, perceived peer alcohol use, willingness to drink alcohol, alcohol expectancies, and alcohol use at two time points, three months apart. Consistent with pre-registered hypotheses, adolescents reported that 60.3% of the typical person their age and 30.6% of their friends post alcohol content to social media. In contrast, only 7% of participants reported that they themselves posted such content to social media. Neither perceived friend nor typical person alcohol content social media posts were prospectively associated with willingness to drink or positive or negative alcohol expectancies, after accounting for offline perceived peer drinking norms. Perceived friend alcohol content posts were prospectively positively associated with past 30-day alcohol consumption even after controlling for offline perceived peer drinking norms. Adolescents misperceived the frequency of alcohol related posting on social media among their peers, and perceptions of friend alcohol content posts prospectively predicted alcohol use. Given the results from the current study and the ubiquity of social media among adolescents, prevention efforts may benefit from addressing misperceptions of alcohol related posting on social media.
