大多数已发表的关于学生参与饮酒游戏的研究来自美利坚合众国。这项研究将研究扩展到英国（UK）和欧洲大陆国家。来自五个国家的大学生完成了一个匿名的在线问卷调查，其中包括DG参与的频率，沿着的类型，背景和动机的措施参与。答复按参与者的性别和居住国进行比较。这项研究是基于对来自五所大学/国家的306名社会工作专业学生进行问卷调查的结果，其中72.2%是女性，平均年龄为22.6岁。其中包括奥地利、德国、荷兰、英国和美国的学生。不论性别或居住国，都有很高比例的学生表示他们参加了DG。“结识朋友”和“喝醉”是总干事参与的最重要的原因。不那么善意的动机，如“控制他人”或“让他人喝醉”，被报告为“不重要”。最常见的DG类型是消耗型和团队DG。在DG和相关的后果参与的派对前显示酒精危害最小化干预措施的重要目标。关于安全饮酒的危害最小化/公共卫生信息需要认识到，年轻学生往往认为他们是不朽的，并没有充分认识到危险和不良影响的危险和饮酒的乐趣和社交。
Most published studies, regarding students' participation in drinking games (DGs), originate from the United States of America (USA). This study extends research to the United Kingdom (UK) and countries of mainland Europe. University students from five countries completed an anonymous online questionnaire which included measures of the frequency of DG participation, along with types, contexts and motives for participation. Responses are compared by the gender, and country of domicile of the participants. The study is based on the results of the questionnaire administered to 306 Social Work students from five universities/countries of which 72.2% are females, with a mean age of 22.6 years. This included students in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA. A high proportion of students, irrespective of gender, or country of domicile, stated that they participated in DGs. To 'meet people' and 'to get drunk' are the most important reasons stated for DG participation. Less benign motives, to 'control others' or 'get other people drunk', are reported as 'not important'. The most common types of DGs were consumption and team DGs. The pre-partying involved in DGs and associated consequences show important targets in alcohol harm minimization interventions. Harm minimization/public health messages regarding safer drinking need to recognize that younger students often feel they are immortal and do not fully appreciate risks and adverse effects of DGs and drink to have fun and be sociable.
