Background: Similar to other countries, the government of Germany has implemented various restrictions of social life in March 2020 to slow the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. This results in millions of people being isolated for long periods, which may increase feelings of worry and anxiety. As the consumption of alcohol and tobacco is an often used dysfunctional strategy to cope with such feelings, these restrictions might cause an increase of consumption. Already at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned that increased alcohol consumption during the lockdown can increase the prevalence of alcohol use disorders in the future. However, up to now little is known about the changes in alcohol-drinking behavior and tobacco smoking in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: To address this theme, we investigated the changes in alcohol and tobacco consumption in the German population aged between 18 and 80 years via an online survey. Results: In total, 3,245 persons participated in the survey; 35.5% of them reported an increase in drinking during the lockdown (42.9% did not change their drinking behavior, 21.3% drank less, and 0.3% started drinking). The odds of consuming more alcohol during lockdown were associated with middle age, higher subjective stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a lower agreement with the importance of the restrictions, and consuming alcohol more than once per week before the lockdown. Also, 45.8% of the participants increased their smoking during the lockdown. The odds of smoking more during lockdown were associated with higher subjective stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: These findings suggest that it is important to start campaigns to inform the general population about potential long-term effects of increased alcohol and tobacco consumption and to raise the health-care professionals’ awareness of this topic.

COVID-19 大流行期间的封锁对德国酒精和烟草消费行为的影响

背景:与其他国家类似,德国政府于 2020 年 3 月实施了各种社交生活限制措施,以减缓 COVID-19 大流行的蔓延。这导致数百万人被长期隔离,这可能会增加担忧和焦虑的感觉。由于酒精和烟草的消费是应对这种感觉的常用功能失调策略,因此这些限制可能会导致消费增加。早在 COVID-19 大流行之初,世界卫生组织 (WHO) 就警告说,在封锁期间增加饮酒量可能会增加未来酒精使用障碍的患病率。然而,到目前为止,人们对 COVID-19 大流行期间一般人群饮酒行为和吸烟的变化知之甚少。方法:为了解决这个问题,我们通过在线调查调查了德国 18 至 80 岁人口的酒精和烟草消费变化。结果:共有 3,245 人参与了调查;其中 35.5% 的人报告在封锁期间饮酒增加(42.9% 的人没有改变饮酒行为,21.3% 的人少喝酒,0.3% 的人开始喝酒)。在锁定期间饮酒更多的可能性与中年、由于 COVID-19 大流行而导致的更高的主观压力、对限制重要性的认同度较低以及在锁定前每周饮酒超过一次有关。此外,45.8% 的参与者在封锁期间增加了吸烟量。由于 COVID-19 大流行,锁定期间吸烟更多的几率与更高的主观压力有关。结论:这些发现表明,重要的是开展宣传活动,让普通民众了解增加酒精和烟草消费的潜在长期影响,并提高卫生保健专业人员对这一主题的认识。
