Abstract

FeaturesPSYCHOLOGY ● Alcohol consumption and sports watching often go hand in hand. And it turns out, drinking and sports betting often do, too. A survey of more than 4,000 adults in the United States revealed that sports gamblers tend to be binge drinkers at a higher rate than nongamblers, psychologists reported in 2024 in JAMA Network Open. The findings suggest that sports gambling's recent rise in popularity — in part due to mobile betting apps — may impact the prevalence of alcohol use disorders as well as gambling addiction (see Page 50). — Karen KwonPHOTO (COLOR) [Extracted from the article]
