Abstract

Background and aims: Patterns of daily or near-daily (DND) use of alcohol and cannabis among adults in the United States have been changing. The current study measured how these shifts have occurred across developmental periods of adulthood.

Design, setting, and participants: U.S. national data from the Monitoring the Future Panel Study include responses from approximately 20 000 adults aged 19 to 65 in 2023. In total, annual data from 1988 to 2023 include 389 649 responses.

Measurements: Self-report measures of use of cannabis and alcohol DND (i.e., 20 + occasions in the last 30 days) were available for the full age ranges of 19-30 years from 1988 to 2023, of 35-50 years from 2008 to 2023, and of 55-65 years in 2023.

Findings: As of 2023, DND cannabis use was nearly three times as prevalent (10.4%) as DND alcohol use (3.6%) among young adults ages 19 to 30. Early midlife adults have had a convergence but not yet a crossover; there were similar prevalence levels of DND use of cannabis (7.5%) and alcohol (7.8%) among those ages 35 to 50 in 2023. Among late midlife adults ages 55 to 65, DND alcohol use remained more than twice as prevalent (11.4%) as DND cannabis use (5.2%) in 2023.

Conclusions: In the United States, daily or near-daily (DND) alcohol use remains more prevalent than DND cannabis use among late midlife adults, but the opposite is true for young adults.

美国成年人每天或几乎每天使用大麻和酒精：跨年龄组的比较。

背景和目的：美国成年人每天或几乎每天（DND）使用酒精和大麻的模式正在发生变化。目前的研究测量了这些变化是如何在成年期发生的。设计、环境和参与者：来自未来监测小组研究的美国国家数据包括2023年约20,000名19至65岁成年人的回复。从1988年到2023年的年度数据总共包括389 649份回复。测量：对1988年至2023年19-30岁、2008年至2023年35-50岁和2023年55-65岁的整个年龄范围的大麻和酒精使用情况（即过去30天内20多次）进行了自我报告测量。研究结果：截至2023年，在19至30岁的年轻人中，DND大麻的使用率（10.4%）几乎是DND酒精使用率（3.6%）的三倍。中年早期的成年人已经有了趋同，但还没有跨界；2023年，35岁至50岁人群中使用大麻（7.5%）和酒精（7.8%）的DND患病率相似。在55岁至65岁的中年晚期成年人中，2023年DND酒精使用量（11.4%）仍然是DND大麻使用量（5.2%）的两倍多。结论：在美国，在中年后期的成年人中，每日或近每日（DND）酒精使用比DND大麻使用更普遍，但在年轻人中则相反。

期刊介绍： Addiction publishes peer-reviewed research reports on pharmacological and behavioural addictions, bringing together research conducted within many different disciplines. Its goal is to serve international and interdisciplinary scientific and clinical communication, to strengthen links between science and policy, and to stimulate and enhance the quality of debate. We seek submissions that are not only technically competent but are also original and contain information or ideas of fresh interest to our international readership. We seek to serve low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries as well as more economically developed countries. Addiction’s scope spans human experimental, epidemiological, social science, historical, clinical and policy research relating to addiction, primarily but not exclusively in the areas of psychoactive substance use and/or gambling. In addition to original research, the journal features editorials, commentaries, reviews, letters, and book reviews.
