title: Associations between bar patron alcohol intoxication and tobacco smoking.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the event-specific relationship between alcohol intoxication and nighttime tobacco smoking among college bar patrons.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this secondary analysis of existing data, we examined event-specific associations between self-report measures of tobacco smoking and breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) readings obtained from 424 patrons exiting on-premise drinking establishments.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, acute alcohol intoxication was positively associated with same-night incidents of smoking tobacco, adjusting for the effects of established smoking practices and other potential confounders.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This investigation is the first known study using data collected in an on-premise drinking setting to link alcohol intoxication to specific incidents of tobacco smoking.
