这项研究调查了 98 名大学生的饮酒行为以及各种主题变量与饮酒的关系。受试者报告平均每月饮酒近八天，每次约五杯，每月醉酒次数超过 3 次。近一半的人报告在过去一年内经历过两次或两次以上与饮酒有关的不良后果，超过三分之一的人每月喝醉四次或以上。百分之四十的受试者可以被描述为有饮酒问题。非法药物使用和感觉寻求量表的去抑制因素是饮酒行为及其不良后果最一致的相关因素，尽管属于兄弟会、15岁之前饮酒/吸毒、Macandrew酒精中毒量表评分以及接受酒精中毒治疗的家庭成员也被发现与受试者饮酒始终相关。社会人口学特征、身体健康、心理健康治疗、儿童行为问题、青少年反社会行为和家庭酗酒总体上与饮酒行为无关。逐步多元回归分析显示，五个变量占饮酒行为总方差的 51%。重要的预测因素包括重度吸毒因素、吸烟因素、兄弟会成员身份、15 岁之前吸毒/酗酒以及有家庭成员接受过酗酒治疗。因此，五个显着预测变量中有四个反映了受试者或其家人的药物使用情况。研究结果强调需要进一步进行前瞻性纵向研究，以了解问题饮酒的根源及其与酗酒的关系。
This study examined the drinking behavior of a sample of 98 college men and the relationship to drinking of a variety of subject variables. The subjects reported drinking an average of nearly eight days a month, about five drinks each time, and were intoxicated more than three times monthly. Nearly half reported having experienced two or more drinking-related adverse consequences within the past year and over a third were intoxicated four or more times monthly. Forty percent of the subjects could be described as problem drinkers. Illicit drug use and the disinhibition factor of the sensation seeking scale were the most consistent correlates of drinking behavior and its adverse consequences, although belonging to a fraternity, consuming alcohol/drugs before age 15, the Macandrew Alcoholism Scale score, and a family member having received alcoholism treatment were also found to be consistently associated with drinking in the subjects. Sociodemographic characteristics, physical health, mental health treatment, childhood behavior problems, adolescent antisocial behavior, and familial alcoholism were by and large not found to be related to drinking behavior. A stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that five variables accounted for 51% of the total variance in drinking behavior. The significant predictors included a heavy drug use factor, a smoking factor, fraternity membership, drug/alcohol use before age 15, and having a family member who had received alcoholism treatment. Thus, four of the five significant predictor variables were reflective of drug use in the subject or his family. The findings underline the need for further prospective longitudinal research to understand the origins of problem drinking and its relationship to alcoholism.
