在参加社交活动之前喝酒在青少年和年轻人中很常见，并且与有害的结果有关，但需要在日常水平上收集信息，以更好地研究与游戏前相关的个人和背景因素。本研究的目的是调查pregaming在不同样本的大学生中的流行率; pregaming率的人口统计学差异; pregaming与大量饮酒，中毒和后果相关的程度;以及一年中的时间和一周中的日子的重要性。大学生（N = 750）在三所大学完成了过去一周的调查，在他们的大一和大二。4名饮酒者中有3人报告了婚前饮酒，在12，361个饮酒日中有31%发生。与非游戏前相比，参与者在游戏前喝了大约2杯饮料;这一增加导致血液酒精浓度估计值高出0.040。使用广义估计方程，我们建立了女性，种族/少数民族学生，一年级学生更有可能在饮酒日比男性，非西班牙裔白色学生，大二学生，分别赛前。男性在赛前几天变得更加醉酒，而成年人则消耗更多的酒精。即使在控制了饮酒量之后，婚前预测的积极和消极后果也更高。在秋季学期、每学期的前几周和周末，提前避孕更为常见。针对一年级学生，学期的前几周和传统聚会时间之前的几个小时的预防工作可能会有效减少这种危险的做法。
Drinking before going to a social event is common in adolescents and young adults and is associated with harmful outcomes, but information collected at the daily level is needed to better examine individual and contextual factors associated with pregaming. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pregaming in a diverse sample of college students; demographic differences in rates of pregaming; the degree to which pregaming is associated with higher volume drinking, intoxication, and consequences; and the importance of time-of-year and day-of-week. College students (N = 750) at three colleges completed past-week surveys throughout their freshman and sophomore years. Pregaming was reported by 3 out of 4 drinkers and occurred on 31% of 12,361 drinking days. Compared with nonpregaming days, participants drank approximately 2 more drinks on pregaming days; this increase accounted for a.040 higher estimated blood alcohol concentration. Using generalized estimating equations, we established that women, racial/ethnic minority students, and first-year students were more likely to pregame on a drinking day than males, non-Hispanic White students, and sophomore students, respectively. Men became more intoxicated on pregaming days and sophomores consumed more alcohol. Pregaming predicted higher positive and higher negative consequences, even after controlling for the number of drinks consumed. Pregaming was more common in the fall semester, in the early weeks of each semester, and on weekends. Prevention efforts targeting first-year students, the early weeks of the semester, and the hours before traditional party times may be effective at reducing this hazardous practice.
