Changes in Consumption• Emerging U-shaped curve in drinking changes
• Small group showing large increases in drinking• Others decreased drinking• Unclear what distinguishes the groups
• Women & Black adults more likely to increase

• https://www.addictionjournal.org/index.php/newsroom/news
• Changes in locations and motives for drinking

COVID and Drinking Motives• Alcohol is both stimulating and sedating
• Drinking to celebrate or socialize (stimulation) • Drinking to cope with negative affect/stress (sedation)
• Motives can alter effects and consequences
• Increased drinking to cope with stress, negative affect, boredom
• Not effective, more likely to lead to negative consequences

How Drinking Alters COVID Risk
![Page 17: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Drinking and COVID• Alcohol reduces immune response
• May increase risk or severity of infection
• Increases risk for lung problems from COVID
![Page 18: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Drinking and COVID• Alcohol reduces vigilance & behavioral control
• Harder to maintain social distancing• Mask wearing and physical distancing are not
established behaviors• Require higher level of cognitive control
• Can lead to unintentional “risk taking”
![Page 19: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Drinking and COVID• Alcohol alters judgment and risk perception
• COVID changes risk of some behaviors• Driving alternatives have different “costs”
• Strategies for safe drinking need to change
![Page 20: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cannabis and COVID
• Approaching alcohol in accessibility
• Less clear data on changes in cannabis use
• Like alcohol, can be used to cope
• Effect on depression/anxiety not clear

Availability of Alcohol
When alcohol becomes more available, problems follow:
Immediate problems: disorderly conduct, noise, property damage, neighborhood disruption.
Long term problems:alcohol is a causal factor in 7 different cancers, number of outlets increases the number of ACES recorded for area youth.
![Page 23: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Changing Alcohol Policies Make the temporary permanent • Mixed drinks to go• Home delivery of alcohol
Changes in law or rule• Expanded footprints “licensed premises” or
“licensed area”• Home delivery of alcohol authorized• Reinterpretation of existing law/rules
• Growlers in Wisconsin
![Page 24: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Issues with Home Delivery
• Drafts assign all liability for underage/intoxicated person sales to delivery service, not retailer.
• Limit to on-premises licensees or allow off-premises.
• Limit days and times for delivery.• Community opt-in/opt out? Delivery
radius?• Limited to sealed containers?• Enforcement protocols are
developing, untested.
![Page 25: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Concerns with Click & Collect Alcohol
• May impact licensed footprint• How to ID intoxicated
customers.• Underage purchasers• Lack of enforcement protocols
or meaningful sanctions for:• Online ordering• Home delivery• Curbside/Click & Collect
![Page 26: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Mixed drinks to go
• Before the pandemic only Florida & Mississippi allowed.
• During the pandemic – 33 states and D.C. allowed, some sunset.
• Many required concurrent food sale.• Some states allowed 3rd party delivery
(DoorDash)• Michigan allows through 2025
![Page 27: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Concerns About Mixed Drinks To-Go
Problem Solutions/Mitigation
• Require food purchase with alcohol sales
• Require a seal and define it• Define when and where drinks
may be consumed
• Strength• Amount of alcohol will vary• Not sealed by manufacturer
tampering is possible
• Public safety• Drinking in cars• Underage drinking
![Page 28: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Options
• Add and enforce sunset dates• Create meaningful sanctions
including suspension or loss of license
• Fund the creation/testing of enforcement protocols
• Fund enforcement by the appropriate agencies
![Page 29: Alcohol use behavior, policy, and treatment in the age of ... and COVID... · alcohol sales • Overall 5% increase in sales in March and April • Sales down 5% in May. ... • Increases](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051511/60094bb9c8e3c060167ec64f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Framing the Issue:
This is about health &
safety, not business
• There is no “healthy” level of drinking –only low-risk drinking.
• Communities see small businesses closing –hospitality industry hard hit.
• Save the Bars Movement – license fees and tax abatement proposals
• We know that expanding the availability of alcohol increases alcohol consumption.
• Unintended consequence, avoid blame.• Expand sympathy to all hard-hit
businesses. • Change the commoditization
of alcohol.

An Opportunity to Reduce Density
• Some licensees will close permanently.
• Map & measure now to assess outlet density .
• Relicense carefully based on vision & mapping.

Why COVID related health inequities?
Not because of race Social Determinants of Health
Historical Trauma and Colonization
Boarding Schools
Poverty, Unemployment
Quality of education
Housing – multigenerational, cannot isolate one person from others in home
Neighborhood factors (e.g., safety, safe roads, lighting, distance to hospitals)
Reservation- lack of clean water sources, lack of running water
Access to culturally safe medical care (IHS severely underfunded)

SUD Outpatient Treatment Programs:Challenges

Patients go in to quickly and safely sign consent to treat forms
Phone contact Often focused on basic level needs, food, utilities, services, COVID
testing
Technological Challenges Counselors and patients limited in access to broadband providers
Little familiarity with virtual telehealth options
Lack of client privacy at home
Counselor and staff fears of contracting COVID if offer in-person treatment
