The current study examined (1) drinking motives as a mediator of risky drinking behaviors (ie, pregaming and drinking games) and alcohol-related problems and (2) whether gender moderates the association between risky drinking behaviors and negative consequences.
Participants (N = 368; 68% female) were drinkers aged 18 to 25. Data were collected from September to November 2010 and January to May 2011.
Participants completed measures regarding typical pregaming and drinking game alcohol consumption, drinking motives, and alcohol-related consequences.
Social, coping, and enhancement motives partially explained relationships, with enhancement motives explaining the most variance for pregaming (31%) and drinking games (44%). Relationships between risky drinking and consequences were not moderated by gender.
Drinking to enhance positive affect may be the most salient motivation for drinking related to pregaming and drinking games for college drinkers. Findings have implications for interventions tailored to students engaging in various heavy drinking practices.
本研究考察了（1）饮酒动机在危险饮酒行为（如赛前饮酒和饮酒游戏）和酒精相关问题中的中介作用，以及（2）性别是否调节了危险饮酒行为与负面后果之间的关系。
参与者（N=368；68%为女性）为 18 至 25 岁的饮酒者。数据于 2010 年 9 月至 11 月和 2011 年 1 月至 5 月收集。
参与者完成了关于典型赛前饮酒和饮酒游戏酒精消费、饮酒动机和酒精相关后果的测量。
社交、应对和增强动机部分解释了这些关系，其中增强动机对赛前饮酒（31%）和饮酒游戏（44%）的解释程度最高。性别并未调节危险饮酒与后果之间的关系。
对于大学生来说，为了增强积极情绪而饮酒可能是与赛前饮酒和饮酒游戏相关的最突出的饮酒动机。这些发现对针对各种豪饮行为的学生的干预措施具有启示意义。
