Objective: To estimate the proportion of the participants of the French national population-based CONSTANCES cohort exceeding the new low-risk drinking guidelines according to sociodemographic and clinical factors.

Methods: From 34,470 participants with follow-up data in 2019, among volunteers aged 18–69 years and invited to enroll in the CONSTANCES cohort in 2016 and 2017, weighted prevalence and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI) exceeding the guidelines using logistic regressions were presented stratified for age, gender, education, occupational grade, employment, income, marital status, pregnancy, work stress, depression, alcohol dependence, binge drinking, cannabis use, smoking status, e-cigarette use, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer.

Results: The guidelines were exceeded more by men at 60.2% (95%CI: 59.3%–61.0%) than by women at 36.6% (95%CI: 35.9%–37.4%). Exceeding the guidelines increased with age, socioeconomic status, smoking, vaping, using cannabis, binge drinking, and alcohol dependence. Being depressed was associated with exceeding the guidelines in women. Even though pregnant women were less likely to exceed the guidelines, 7.6% (95%CI: 5.4%–10.6%) were at-risk drinkers.

Conclusion: These findings highlight the need to implement effective prevention measures for at-risk alcohol use among the French population.
