AB - This study examined how stress exposure, risk perception, secondary appraisal, and emotional response were associated with hazardous drinking during the prolonged COVID-19 crisis in January 2022, when the Omicron surge intensified in South Korea. Secondary data from an online survey of 1,000 adults in Gyeonggi Province were analyzed. Hazardous drinking was measured as consuming at least seven drinks per occasion for men and five for women. Logistic regression assessed at least weekly hazardous drinking, and path analysis with bootstrap multiple mediation assessed hazardous drinking frequency. COVID-19 diagnosis and quarantine/isolation experiences, perceived uncontrollability of COVID-19 risk, and embitterment had direct effects on hazardous drinking frequency. Risk perception had no direct effect but showed an indirect effect through perceived uncontrollability. Negative life events affected hazardous drinking through embitterment, while perceived resilience reduced embitterment. The findings suggest combining crisis communication with health communication and emotional-structural support to prevent hazardous drinking.
