While it has been theorized that emotional problems during childhood and adolescence can be associated with alcohol use behaviors in adolescence and adulthood (e.g. Zucker, 2006; Zucker, Donovan, Masten, Mattson, & Moss, 2008), empirical evidence has been mixed (see Hussong, Ennett, Cox, & Haroon, 2017; Ning, Gondek, Patalay, & Ploubidis, 2020 for systematic reviews). One reason for mixed findings could be the effects of co-occurring externalizing problems.
