Abstract
Background: Rapid growth in the use of alcohol home delivery services, combined with increases in home drinking during COVID-19, raises potential concerns around increased consumption. This paper aims to assess the relationship between alcohol home delivery use and consumption across levels of COVID-19 restrictions in New South Wales (NSW), Australia.
Methods: A 5-wave longitudinal survey of 586 NSW residents (Mage = 35; 65.3% female) conveniently sampled across 2020. Home delivery usage and the number of daily standard drinks consumed during a typical week were assessed with a survey. Logistic regression models were estimated within each wave to identify predictors of home delivery usage, and hierarchical logistic mixed effects models were estimated to predict purchase source (home delivery vs other) at the occasion level.
Results: From baseline, alcohol home delivery use rose significantly during lockdown (20% to 34%), with respondents using home delivery during lockdown and the partial re-opening wave consuming significantly more than those who were not. Use of home delivery was significantly higher during lockdown and the partial re-opening amongst people who drank more heavily, with respondents aged 36 or older more likely to use delivery services in all waves except lockdown.
Conclusions: Alcohol home delivery usage increased during lockdown suggesting restrictions impeding on-premise consumption coincided with an increase in home delivery. Associations between persons who drink more heavily and use of home delivery during lockdown and the partial re-opening suggest a subset of the population that may be at increased risk of harmful consumption when accessing alcohol delivery services.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
