US, alcohol sales have increased of 55% in one week (Associated Press, 2020). In France, a large on-line survey reports an increase of alcohol use in 31% of participants (Rolland et al., 2020). The main factors associated were being aged 30–49 years, having a high level of education or a current psychiatric treatment. This raise of alcohol use might increase the development of alcohol use disorder for some individuals, placing further strain on addictions services, and health services in general, during and after the pandemic (Clay and Parker, 2020; Da et al., 2020; Rehm et al., 2020).
