For most of the American population, the college years represent the period of life associated with the highest levels of alcohol consumption and, most likely, the highest prevalence of alcohol use disorders during the lifespan (Grant, 1997). Recent research has focused increasingly on college student drinking. For example, a combined PsycINFO/Medline search of abstracts containing the words" alcohol or drink or drinking" shows a dramatic increase in the percentage of scholarly articles that contain the term" college" over the past four decades; 0.7%(1963-1972), 1.9%(1973-1982), 2.5%(1983-1992), and 2.7%(1993-2002). In this chapter, we provide a review of what is currently known about the prevalence and patterns of alcohol use and associated problems in college students; how individual, intra-campus, and inter-campus factors relate to use and problems; and what is currently known regarding the longterm negative consequences of problematic college student drinking. Most of the prevalence estimates of college student drinking come from a few landmark studies conducted with national datasets in which the data were collected either specifically from college students, such as the College Alcohol Study (CAS; Wechsler, Davenport, Dowdall, Moeykens, & Castillo, 1994; Wechsler, Lee, Kuo, & Lee, 2000), the Core Institute (CORE; Presley, Meilman, & Cashin, 1996), and the National College Health Risk Behavior Survey (NCHRBS; Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 1997), or more generally from college-aged young adults, including Monitoring the Future (MTF; Johnston, O'Malley, & Bachman, 2002), the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA; Gfroerer, Greenblatt, & Wright, 1997), and the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY; Center for Human Resource Research, 1993).
