酗酒是大学生中常见且危险的行为。然而，在日本，目前对酗酒的流行程度和酒精相关后果以及它们之间的关系的研究还很少。本研究的目的是调查日本大学生酗酒和酒精相关问题的状况以及它们之间的关系。我们对 2018 年 12 月至 2019 年 1 月参加包括酒精相关内容的健康研讨会或讲座的大学生进行了横断面调查。使用简短的青少年酒精后果问卷 (B-YAACQ) 和人口统计数据评估饮酒模式和酒精相关后果。共有382名学生参加了研讨会，其中280名学生同意配合本次研究，249名学生有饮酒经历。共有 88 名男性（67.7%）和 42 名女性（32.2%）被归类为酗酒者。酗酒者更显着地经历各种后果，如宿醉、悔恨和尴尬行为，其中一些人被怀疑存在身体依赖。此外，逻辑分析显示，在男性中，酗酒者的 B-YAACQ 得分是非酗酒者的 2.01 倍。这项研究的结果表明，酗酒不仅可能导致身体后果，还可能导致精神和社会问题，尤其是男性。重要的是要正确地告诉大学生这些风险，不要酗酒。
Binge drinking is a common and risky behavior among college students. In Japan, however, research on the prevalence of binge drinking and alcohol-related consequences, and the relationship between them, is currently scant. The aim of this study is to examine the status of binge drinking and alcohol-related problems, and the relationship between them, among Japanese college students. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of college students who participated in a health seminar or lecture including alcohol related contents from December 2018 to January 2019. Drinking patterns and alcohol-related consequences were assessed using the Brief Young Adult Alcohol Consequences Questionnaire (B-YAACQ) and demographic data. A total of 382 students participated in the seminar, of whom 280 agreed to cooperate in this study and 249 had drinking experience. A total of 88 men (67.7%) and 42 women (32.2%) were classified as binge drinkers. Binge drinkers more significantly experienced various consequences, such as hangover, feeling remorse and embarrassing behavior and some of them were suspected of physical dependence. Furthermore, logistic analysis revealed that among men, the B-YAACQ scores of binge drinkers were 2.01-fold higher those of non-binge drinkers. The findings of this study indicated that binge drinking may cause not only physical consequences but also mental and social problems, especially among men. It is important to tell college students these risks properly not to engage in binge drinking.
