No data exist on the influence of meteorological factors on alcohol use disorders (AUD). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between meteorological factors and AUD. All patients who were admitted to an emergency department (ED) in the Paris-region for an alcohol-related condition were included using the Oscour® database over the period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019. Meteorological data were collected by Météo-France (French Weather service). All data were aggregated by week. We performed Pearson correlations between weather variables and the number of ED visits for AUD. We observed 98,748 ED visits for alcohol-related conditions over the study period. We found significant positive correlations between the number of alcohol-related ED visits and the mean temperature (r = 0.55;  p  = 1.87e  −5 , 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 0.33, 0.72) and the duration of sunlight (r = 0.42;  p  = .0015, 95% CI = 0.17, 0.62). Negative correlations were also found significant with rain (r = −0.40;  p  = .0014, 95% CI = –0.62, –0.18), humidity (r = –0.41;  p  = .0023, 95% CI = –0.62, –0.16) and wind speed (r = −0.40;  p  = .0031, 95% CI = –0.60, –0.14). Emergency visits for AUD seem to increase with the temperature and duration of sunlight, and decrease with rain, humidity and wind speed. Further studies are needed on a larger scale and taking into account potential confounding factors to confirm these findings.
