Behaviors of weight conscious drinkers (BWCD) include disordered eating, excessive physical activity (PA), and heavy episodic drinking. Considering that approximately 25% of the college students report BWCD, it is important to investigate what characteristics increase the likelihood of college students engaged in BWCD for both moderate and vigorous PAs.
A total of 510 college students were recruited from a large, public southeastern university.
Participants completed a cross-sectional survey during the spring 2015 semester.
Of 510 respondents, 11.2% reported moderate PA-based BWCD and 14.7% reported vigorous PA-based BWCD. Weight loss intention, BMI and Greek affiliation predicted both moderate and vigorous BWCD.
Study findings suggest that Greek-affiliated students and students with weight loss intentions might be at an increased risk for BWCD. Along with promoting lower levels of alcohol consumption, college practitioners should consider discussing issues of weight and body image with college students as they relate to maladaptive drinking behavior.
关注体重饮酒者（BWCD）的行为包括饮食失调、过度体育活动（PA）和大量饮酒。鉴于约25%的大学生报告有BWCD行为，研究哪些特征会增加大学生参与适度和剧烈体育活动的BWCD可能性很重要。
从东南部一所大型公立大学招募了510名大学生。
参与者在2015年春季学期完成了一项横断面调查。
在510名受访者中，11.2%报告有基于适度体育活动的BWCD，14.7%报告有基于剧烈体育活动的BWCD。减肥意愿、体重指数（BMI）和加入兄弟会或姐妹会与适度和剧烈的BWCD均相关。
研究结果表明，加入兄弟会或姐妹会的学生以及有减肥意愿的学生可能患BWCD的风险更高。除了促进减少酒精消费外，高校从业者还应考虑与大学生讨论与适应不良饮酒行为相关的体重和身体形象问题。
