To examine attendance at alcohol-service and alcohol-free parties among college students, and to compare alcohol consumption on nights of these parties.
A random sample of 556 students (38.6% male) completed a web survey that measured past-semester alcohol use, alcohol-service party attendance, alcohol-free party attendance, and alcohol consumed on the nights of recent parties.
Participants were twice as likely to attend alcohol-service parties as they were to attend alcohol-free parties (90% vs. 44%). First-year students and Black students were more likely than other students to attend alcohol-free parties. Alcohol use was higher in students who attended alcohol-service parties but there were no differences in levels of alcohol use between students who attended alcohol-free parties and those who did not. Pre-gaming was more prevalent, but the number of drinks and intoxication were lower on nights of alcohol-free parties than on nights of alcohol-service parties.
The lack of association between attendance at alcohol-free parties and alcohol use indicates both heavy and light drinkers attend these parties. The lower drinking and intoxication on alcohol-free party nights suggests alcohol-free programming should be investigated to determine if it may reduce alcohol use on college campuses.
调查大学生参加含酒精服务和无酒精派对的情况,并比较这些派对之夜的饮酒量。
随机抽取了 556 名学生(38.6%为男性)完成了一项网络调查,该调查衡量了过去一学期的饮酒情况、含酒精服务派对的出席情况、无酒精派对的出席情况以及最近派对之夜的饮酒量。
与参加无酒精派对相比,参与者参加含酒精服务派对的可能性是其两倍(90%比 44%)。与其他学生相比,一年级学生和黑人学生更有可能参加无酒精派对。参加含酒精服务派对的学生饮酒量更高,但参加无酒精派对的学生与不参加无酒精派对的学生的饮酒量没有差异。在无酒精派对之夜,预饮更为普遍,但饮酒量和醉酒程度低于含酒精服务派对之夜。
参加无酒精派对与饮酒之间缺乏关联表明,无论是重度饮酒者还是轻度饮酒者都参加这些派对。无酒精派对之夜的饮酒量和醉酒程度较低表明,应调查无酒精活动节目是否可以减少大学校园的饮酒量。
