Abstract

Nearly all U.S. emerging adults use social media at least daily, and most discuss their offline activities online, including their alcohol misuse. As a result, developing evidence finds a correlation between social media use and offline alcohol drinking, suggesting that social media may be a novel risk factor for alcohol misuse. However, there are conflicting findings about what specific function of social media use is risker – does the amount of time spent online or the types of online activities matter more?
