作者设计了这项研究，以评估大学生在庆祝21岁生日时酗酒的流行程度和程度，以及生日卡建议适度饮酒的影响。作者在受试者生日前一周左右随机分配受试者接受或不接受卡片。大约在21岁后一周，作者向所有受试者发送了调查问卷。基于164份返回的调查结果显示，90%的人饮酒，75%的人去酒吧，61%的人血液酒精含量（BAC）超过法律的驾驶限制，23%的人血液酒精含量超过0.25。男性和女性的结果相似。尽管受试者普遍喜欢生日贺卡，但它对他们的饮酒或庆祝计划没有影响。研究结果表明，需要额外的关注，重点放在特定的酒精相关事件和进一步发展的预防方法，是特定的事件。
The authors designed this study to evaluate the prevalence and magnitude of heavy drinking among college students in celebrating their 21st birthdays and the impact of a birthday card suggesting moderation. The authors randomly assigned subjects to receive or not receive the card approximately I week prior to their birthday. Approximately I week after turning 21, the authors sent surveys to all subjects. Results based on 164 returned surveys indicated that 90% consumed alcohol, 75% went to a bar, 61% reached a blood alcohol content (BAC) above the legal driving limit, and 23% reached a BAC above .25. Results were similar for men and women. Although subjects generally liked the birthday card, it had no impact on their drinking or celebration plans. Findings suggest the need for additional attention focusing on specific alcohol-related events and further development of prevention approaches that are event specific.
