A total of 33 729 pregnant women participated in the BRFSS and provided information on past-month alcohol use. The adjusted prevalence of current alcohol use increased from a low of 9.1% (95% CI, 7.8%-10.4%) in 2011-2012 to a high of 15.2% (95% CI, 13.2%-17.2%) in 2021-2022, before decreasing slightly to 14.5% (95% CI, 12.3%-16.7%) in 2023-2024 (prevalence ratio [PR], 1.59 [95% CI, 1.29-1.96]; Figure).
Binge and heavy drinking followed similar patterns, reaching prevalence rates of 4.6% (95% CI, 3.6%-5.7%) (PR, 1.77 [95% CI, 1.26-2.49]) and 2.0% (95% CI, 1.1%-2.8%) (PR, 2.66 [95% CI, 1.50-4.72]), respectively, by 2023-2024.
In adjusted trend models, successive 2-year periods were associated with higher odds of current alcohol use (odds ratio [OR], 1.10 [95% CI, 1.06-1.13]), binge drinking (OR, 1.12 [95% CI, 1.07-1.17]), and heavy drinking (OR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.08-1.24]) in the past month, indicating statistically significant increases over the time frame (Figure).
