The authors examined the phenomenon known to college students as prepartying, which is the consumption of alcohol prior to attending an event or activity (eg, party, bar, concert) at which more alcohol may be consumed.
To explore the extent of this behavior, the authors surveyed 227 college students about each drinking event over a 1-month period.
Principal results revealed that 64% of participants engaged in prepartying (75% of drinkers) and that prepartying is involved in approximately 45% of all drinking events. Prepartying was predictive of more drinking throughout the day of the drinking event and alcohol-related negative consequences. Men and women engaged in this behavior at similar rates, and prepartying was most related to social reasons for drinking.
Because prepartying is well-known among students, the authors suggest that clinicians and researchers target it to better understand college drinking and to help students understand the associated dangers.
作者研究了大学生中被称为“预饮酒”的现象，即在参加可能会饮用更多酒精饮料的活动（如派对、酒吧、音乐会）之前饮酒。
为探究这种行为的程度，作者在1个月的时间里就每次饮酒事件对227名大学生进行了调查。
主要结果显示，64%的参与者有预饮酒行为（占饮酒者的75%），且预饮酒行为约占所有饮酒事件的45%。预饮酒行为预示着在饮酒活动当天会饮用更多酒以及出现与酒精相关的负面后果。男性和女性参与这种行为的比例相近，且预饮酒行为与饮酒的社交原因最为相关。
由于预饮酒在学生中广为人知，作者建议临床医生和研究人员将其作为目标，以更好地了解大学生饮酒情况，并帮助学生认识到相关危险。
