RESUMO

Alcopops are highly-sweetened premixed spirit-based drinks. Ready to drink and sold in small bottles, it contains between 3 and 5 % alcohol by volume, sugars, citric and malic acid with a pH around 3. Their success is attributed to the fact that spirits are more palatable and better tasting with a fruity flavour, similar to non alcoholic beverages. Especially aimed at female teenagers in search for the alcohol effect while disliking its strong taste, it has been sold in Europe for 15 years. So called "designer drinks" are often consumed during the weekend, binge-drinked with some friends. The frequent consumption has severe consequences on general health, which includes body overweight due to the amount of sugar, and alcohol-related consequences of utmost importance considering consumer's young age. Moreover, alcopops may introduce to the consumption of alcohol and induce addiction. Consequences on oral health may include dental erosion. Erosion is a premature loss of mineralized tissues (enamel and dentin), due to the contact with acids. The low pH of these drinks and the increased risk of vomiting because of an excessive alcohol intake could potentially lead to substantial damage to the teeth. The treatment depends on the erosion stage. The medical professionals should be aware of the possible implications relating to alcopops' consumption. Some preventive advices can be given to the teenagers and to their parents: reduce acids consumptions, do not brush the teeth immediately after an acid drink and regularly visit a dentist.
