This study examines the trends in the relationship between gambling, alcohol use, and drunkenness in Finnish youth from 2008 to 2019. The data were collected from 8th and 9th graders during a school day. The researchers found that the prevalence of youth gambling decreased by more than half between 2008 and 2019. However, the difference was higher in 2019 between youth who gambled and drank alcohol/got drunk and those who did not gamble and did not drink often. These results suggest a polarization of risk-taking behaviours: problems with gambling and alcohol use tend to cluster in some adolescents.
