The association between alcohol consumption and AGA remains uncertain and controversial. Our primary objective is to investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and AGA.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We identified studies from multiple databases, including Embase, MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science, up to March 2024. For alcohol consumption, we included studies where it was defined as a categorical variable, such as Yes\/No or classified by grams. For AGA, only cases that were clinically diagnosed were included. Odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals were extracted from the included studies. Subgroup analyses were conducted, considering factors such as gender and study design.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our findings indicated that individuals who consume alcohol had an OR of AGA compared to those who do not drink alcohol (OR, 1.40; 95% CI: .95\u20132.06; k\u2009=\u20096; I2\u00a0=\u200977%). In the subgroup analysis focusing on men, an OR for alopecia was observed (OR, 1.31; 95% CI: .85\u20132.01; k\u2009=\u20094; I2\u00a0=\u200978%). Additionally, a subgroup analysis based on study design revealed ORs of 1.93 (95% CI: 1.32\u20132.82; k\u2009=\u20093; I2\u00a0=\u200947%) for cross-sectional studies, and 1.69 (95% CI: 1.33\u20132.14; k\u2009=\u20092; I2\u00a0=\u20090%) for case\u2013control studies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Our results suggest that the effect of alcohol consumption on AGA may be less than initially assumed.
