We surveyed 1,900 first-year students at the University of Virginia 1 month after arrival. We looked at drinking and driving practices. Men drank more and they drank more often than women. Our data suggest that in defining frequent heavy drinkers, one should consider body weight. We now define frequent heavy drinking as five or more drinks in a row at least weekly for men, and for women we use three to four drinks or more in a row at least weekly. Frequent heavy drinkers and dangerous drivers appeared disproportionately among students planning to join fraternities and sororities. We believe correction of alcohol abuse and addiction by college students must focus, at least in part, on social organizations, especially fraternities and sororities. Also, we must attend to characterologic features that predispose to alcohol abuse and dependence and dangerous driving practices.
我们在弗吉尼亚大学的1900名一年级学生入学1个月后进行了调查。我们研究了饮酒和驾驶行为。男性饮酒量更多，且饮酒频率高于女性。我们的数据表明，在定义频繁酗酒者时，应考虑体重因素。我们现在将频繁酗酒定义为男性每周至少连续饮酒5杯及以上，女性每周至少连续饮酒3至4杯及以上。在计划加入兄弟会和姐妹会的学生中，频繁酗酒者和危险驾驶者的比例过高。我们认为，纠正大学生的酒精滥用和成瘾问题，至少部分要关注社会组织，尤其是兄弟会和姐妹会。此外，我们必须关注那些易导致酒精滥用、依赖和危险驾驶行为的性格特征。
