Background and ObjectivesChildhood sexual abuse (CSA) is a well‐documented risk factor for problem drinking, but the possibility that recent stressful events exacerbate risk conferred by CSA has rarely been examined, and the few studies to do so have limited their investigations to negative events. The aim of the current study was to examine the associations between CSA, recent positive and negative stressful events, and women's alcohol consumption.MethodsEighty‐nine women (42.7% reporting CSA) completed weekly web‐based alcohol use surveys and a stressful event inventory assessing negative and positive events over a 12 week period.ResultsIndependent of CSA history, experiencing negative events was associated with elevated likelihood of drinking to intoxication.Discussion and ConclusionsProximal distressing events are more closely linked than CSA history to short‐term drinking patterns.Scientific SignificanceTracking stressful negative events may be informative for identifying precipitants of heavy drinking.
