Sixty-one percent portrayed rapid consumption of multiple drinks, such as taking back-to-back shots, then chugging from the bottle. They also promoted the idea that alcohol consumption is associated with friendship and camaraderie. The few that did mention negative associations -- such as hangovers or physical injury -- did so in a humorous, not educational, manner.

Key Points: 
  • "Social media platforms, such as TikTok, can influence health behavior," says Russell.
  • "For example, increased youth exposure to alcohol marketing on social media is linked to earlier drinking initiation and greater levels of overall alcohol consumption.
  • The researchersanalyzed the 100 most-liked videos on TikTok's #alcohol page, which had 1.7 billion views as of 2020.
  • "Any nonregistered person can fully interact with alcohol videos on TikTok, regardless of age."
