Abstract

Mental health and drug use disorders in the U.S. are among the highest globally (Kamal, 2017). Positive emotions like happiness serve promotive and protective roles against social anxiety and binge-drinking (Enoch, 2007). Results indicate that social anxiety was the strongest predictor for alcohol craving, social media use and happiness.
