Purpose: The prevalence of binge drinking has increased among Korean adolescents in recent years. The purposeof this study was to determine the influencing factors of adolescent binge drinking.
Methods: This was a secondaryanalysis of data from the 14th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey. For the present analysis, 5,203 binge drinkers(girls who drank 3 or more glasses of soju and boys who drank 5 or more in average on one occasion in the last30 days) and 4,464 non-binge drinkers were selected.
Results: Compared with the adolescents who had no experiencebuying alcoholic beverages, the adolescents who responded that it was easy or uneasy to buy alcoholicdrinks were more likely to be a binge drinker. Also, compared with never smokers, ex-smokers and current smokerswere more likely to be a binge drinker. Binge drinking was positively associated with skipping breakfast, subjectivehealth, and feelings of sadness or hopeless.
Conclusion: The findings of this study may be useful in developingbinge drinking prevention programs for adolescents.
