AB  - Purpose. This study investigated the effect of demographic, socioeconomic, and 
      psychological factors as well as the role of health determinants on alcohol 
      consumption and binge drinking among economically disadvantaged African American 
      older adults with type 2 diabetes mellites (T2DM). Methods. This survey recruited 
      231 African Americans who were older adults (age 65+ years) and had T2DM. 
      Participants were selected from economically disadvantaged areas of South Los 
      Angeles. A structured face-to-face interview was conducted to collect data on 
      demographic factors, objective and subjective socioeconomic status (SES) 
      including education and financial difficulty, living arrangement, marital status, 
      health, and drinking behaviors (drinking and binge drinking). Results. Age, 
      gender, living alone, pain, comorbid conditions, and smoking were associated with 
      drinking/binge drinking. Male gender, pain, and being a smoker were associated 
      with higher odds of drinking/binge drinking, while individuals with more comorbid 
      medical conditions had lower odds of binge drinking. Conclusion. In economically 
      constrained urban environments, gender, pain, and smoking but not age, SES, 
      depression, and health may predict binge drinking for African American older 
      adults with T2DM. African Americans older adult men with T2DM with comorbid pain 
      should be screened for binge drinking.
