AB Emotional Eating is eating in response to negative emotional states, such as boredom, loneliness, oranxiety. For some young people, both food and alcohol are a source of pleasure in their social life. Across-sectional study was conducted in 2022-23 in the Health Sciences Faculty. Mediterranean DietAdherence Test, alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT), Emotional Eater Questionnaire(EEQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Yale Food Addiction, Perceived Stress Scale, and AnxietyQuestionnaire STAI, were employed. Emotional eater (EE) regarding to no emotional eater (NEE)presented a mild food addiction, a significantly high intake of carbohydrates, fat, and alcohol. Energyintake is dependent on saturated fat, also they are not conscious of their intake of calories, had worsesleep quality, high perceived stress, and worse healthy eating index (HEI) due to their intake of sweetsand soft drinks. The diet quality could be affected by the stress of the pandemic. The association ofemotional eating with the intake of sweet foods and alcoholic drinks maybe is a remaining situationof COVID-19.
