Description
I. Introduction. Background on American college student alcohol use In 2002 more than 1 in 10 young American adults aged 18 to 24 years were heavy drinkers (i.e., consuming five or more drinks on the same occasion on each of 5 or more days in the past 30 days); almost 2 in 5 were binge drinkers, i.e., five or more drinks for men, four or more for women on a single occasion at least once in the past 30 days at the same time or within a few hours (Office Applied Studies). Full-time college students had significantly higher rates of past-year alcohol dependence (25%) than non-students (20%). The national Harvard College Alcohol Study found that 44% of students at four-year colleges reported drinking heavily during the two weeks prior to the survey (Wechsler, Lee, Kuo, et. al. 2000). The 2004 Monitoring the Future survey found that college students and young adult non-students have similar prevalence rates of lifetime or annual alcohol use, but college students have significantly higher monthly use rates than non-students (68% versus 59%) and higher binge drinking in the past two weeks (42% versus 34%), but significantly lower rates of daily drinking (3.7% versus 5.8%) (Johnston, O'Malley, Bachman, et al. 2005)
