背景：酒精和能量饮料(AED)共饮在青少年和年轻人中越来越受欢迎，并与一系列危害有关。考虑到AED的使用和大量饮酒之间的关系已经确定，与确定的醉酒和享乐主义饮酒有关的动机在解释酒精和AED消费方面可能很重要。本研究旨在探讨联合使用AED的动机及其与酒精依赖和伤害和攻击经历的关系。方法：2012年，澳大利亚维多利亚州迪肯大学的594名学生完成了一项匿名在线调查。大约三分之二的样本(66.5%)是女性，平均年龄为22.3岁(SD=4.5)，这与2012年迪肯大学的招生情况一致。结果：对14个衡量AED使用动机的项目进行的主轴因素分析确定了4个因素，分别为“享乐主义”、“社交”、“能量/耐力”和“醉酒-减少”动机。多项和二元Logistic回归分析表明，使用AED的享乐主义动机显著预测AED发作期间酒精和能量饮料共同消费的增加，酒精依赖的风险，以及经历伤害和攻击。减少醉酒的动机显著预测危害结果。结论：特定于感觉和快乐理想的享乐主义动机与同时饮用酒精和能量饮料相关的负面后果有关。此外，报告使用AED来减少酒精中毒的消费者面临着更高的负面结果风险，这一发现表明消费者对AED使用的影响的了解可能是有限的。
Background: Coconsumption of alcohol with energy drinks (AED) is becoming increasingly popular among adolescents and young adults and has been associated with a range of harms. Motivations related to determined drunkenness and hedonistic drinking are potentially important in explaining both alcohol and AED consumption, given that a relationship has been identified between AED use and heavy alcohol consumption. This study aimed to explore motives for combined AED consumption, as well as their relationship with alcohol dependence and experiences of harm and aggression.Methods: Students (n = 594) enrolled at Deakin University, Victoria, Australia, completed an anonymous online survey in 2012. Approximately two-thirds of the sample (66.5%) were female, and the mean age was 22.3 (SD = 4.5), consistent with 2012 Deakin University enrollment.Results: Principal axis factor analysis of 14 items measuring motivations for AED use identified 4 factors, categorized as "hedonistic,""social," "energy/endurance," and "intoxication-reduction" motives. Multinomial and binary logistic regression analyses demonstrated that hedonistic motives for AED use significantly predicted increases in alcohol and energy drink coconsumption during AED episodes, risk of alcohol dependence, as well as experiencing harm and aggression. Intoxication-reduction motives significantly predicted harm outcomes.Conclusions: Hedonistic motives specific to sensation and pleasure ideals are implicated in negative consequences associated with coconsumption of alcohol and energy drinks. Further, consumers who reported using AEDs to reduce alcohol intoxication were at increased risk of negative outcomes, a finding indicating that consumer knowledge of the effects of AED use may be limited.
