The purpose of this research was to explore different aspects of the link between alcohol use and gambling among undergraduate university students (N = 121). Potential aspects of the link examined included level of involvement in each behavior, consequences, motives for involvement, and impaired control over involvement. Results confirmed that drinking and gambling among university students are associated, consistent with the expectations of a problem syndrome model. The strongest link was between general dimensions of problematic involvement for both behaviors. Students who drink to cope and have other indicators of alcohol problems are more likely to gamble to cope, gamble to win money, and have higher gambling involvement and gambling-related problems. However, the salience of drinking and gambling to cope in this relationship is an interesting finding that needs further exploration and extension to other problem behaviors.
本研究旨在探讨大学生饮酒和赌博之间关联的不同方面（N=121）。所考察的潜在关联方面包括对每种行为的参与程度、后果、参与动机以及对参与的控制受损。结果证实，大学生的饮酒和赌博是相关的，符合问题综合征模型的预期。与两种行为的一般问题参与维度之间的联系最为紧密。那些为了应对而饮酒且存在其他酒精问题指标的学生更有可能为了应对而赌博、为了赢钱而赌博、并且参与赌博的程度更高、存在更多与赌博相关的问题。然而，在这种关系中，饮酒和赌博作为应对手段的重要性是一个有趣的发现，需要进一步探索并扩展到其他问题行为。
