Abstract

College students and their alcohol use have been the subject of numerous studies over the last three decades and have received an increasing amount of attention Engs, 1977 Hanson and Engs, 1984 Gadaleto and Anderson, 1986 Downs, 1987 Thompson and Wilsnack, 1987 Janosik and Anderson, 1989 Tryon, 1992. Studies on student alcohol use began appearing in the literature in the mid1970's Penn, 1974 Rouse and Ewing, 1978 Newton, 1978. Subsequent studies SchellerGilkey, Gomberg, and Clay, 1979 Heritage, 1979 O'Connell and Patterson, 1989 have documented consistently high levels of alcohol consumption and a serious abuse problem on college campuses. Although some studies Condon and Carman, 1986 Hanson and Engs, 1986 indicate that overall consumption has reached a plateau, Gonzalez 1986 reported that 89 of male students and 86 of female students surveyed drank alcohol, and many suffered from alcohol related problems. Further, both recent survey data Eigen, 1991 and participantobserver studies Moffatt, 1989 suggest that collegiate drinking is a very serious health concern. Moffatt found that to a great extent college students' lives revolved around the acquisition and consumption of alcohol and constituted students' favourite collective activity. Surveys revealed that no other population group in the United States has a more serious drinking problem than does the college student population Gonzalez, 1986. Both men and women drink more as they progress through the college, and those who drink more also experience more alcoholrelated problems Gonzalez, 1989.
