Ecological study identifies trends in alcohol consumption among ASEAN countries and links it to economic factors.

This study aims to explore the associations between economic development and alcohol consumption in ASEAN countries.
Analyzed GDP per capita, life expectancy, and alcohol consumption trends from 2000 to 2022 in 10 ASEAN member states.
Used cluster analyses to categorize countries based on consumption and policies.
Employed generalized least squares models to assess relationships while accounting for temporal autocorrelation.
Increased economic wealth correlates with higher life expectancy, particularly in low-income countries.
Economic transitions lead to increased alcohol consumption in low-income countries, except for Muslim-majority nations.
Some ASEAN countries have effectively implemented alcohol control policies, halting consumption increases post-transition.

Rehm et al. (2026) studied this question.
