Data from 606 (75.8%) undergraduate respondents drawn from a random sample (N = 800) at Rutgers University demonstrate that, although fewer college students may be drinking when compared to some previous estimates, there is still a large number of heavy drinkers. In addition, traditional demographic variables continue to predict alcohol consumption levels. Students also report a similar variety of drinking related problems as in previous college drinking studies. Women constitute half as many heavy drinkers as men, but report an equal amount of alcohol-related problems in this sample. When controlling for race, it appears that white students continue to drink the most, and show heavy drinking rates comparable to a previous large college sample in the northeast. Students who live on campus drink more than their commuting counterparts, and the drinking age has little effect on consumption levels or total reported alcohol-related problems, although it alters the context of drinking somewhat. Findings are generally compared to previous as well as more recent college drinking data. Sex differences and similarities are discussed, as well as the findings concerning legal drinking status. Implications for prevention efforts are suggested.
来自罗格斯大学随机抽取的800名样本中的606名（75.8%）本科受访者的数据表明，尽管与之前的一些估计相比，饮酒的大学生人数可能有所减少，但仍有大量酗酒者。此外，传统的人口统计学变量继续能够预测酒精消费水平。学生们报告的与饮酒相关的问题种类与之前的大学饮酒研究类似。女性酗酒者的数量只有男性的一半，但在这个样本中，她们报告的与酒精相关的问题数量相同。在控制种族因素后，似乎白人学生饮酒量仍然最大，其酗酒率与东北部之前一个大型大学样本相当。住在校园里的学生比通勤的学生饮酒更多，饮酒年龄对消费水平或报告的与酒精相关的问题总数影响不大，不过它在一定程度上改变了饮酒的环境。研究结果通常与之前以及最近的大学饮酒数据进行比较。讨论了性别差异和相似之处，以及关于合法饮酒状况的研究结果。还提出了对预防工作的启示。
