College student substance use has been a problem for many years. In particular, heavy alcohol consumption can create issues with academics, social relationships, and overall functioning. Unitary measures of generic alcohol consumption (e.g., drinking frequency) are important predictors of alcohol-related negative consequences, but the small amount of specific-beverage research available suggests that assessing beverage type consumed may enhance prediction.
The purpose of the present study was to expand knowledge of alcoholic beverage preference in relation to negative consequences and confirm the factor structure of the RAPI proposed by Martens et al. ( 2007 ) in a college student sample.
In addition, the present study expanded current knowledge by assessing beverage preference type in relation to specific negative consequences on the RAPI.
Results replicated the three-factor structure originally found by Martens et al. ( 2007 ). Moreover, results found that individuals consuming shots of liquor or alcohol mixed with caffeine reported higher overall RAPI scores and higher scores on the Abuse/Dependence and Personal Consequences factors but not the Social Consequences factor than those consuming mixed drinks, beer, or wine. Conclusions/Importance: This research might inform discussions with incoming college freshman about not only alcohol consumption and negative consequences but the dangers of drinking specific types of alcohol beverages such as shots and/or alcohol mixed with caffeine.
多年来，大学生的物质使用一直是一个问题。特别是，大量饮酒会导致学业、社交关系和整体功能出现问题。通用的酒精摄入量衡量标准（如饮酒频率）是酒精相关负面后果的重要预测指标，但目前关于特定饮料的研究很少，这表明评估所饮用的饮料类型可能会提高预测能力。
本研究旨在扩展与负面后果相关的特定酒精饮料偏好知识，并在大学生样本中验证 Martens 等人（2007 年）提出的 RAPI 的因子结构。
此外，本研究通过评估 RAPI 上特定负面后果与饮料偏好类型的关系，扩展了当前的知识。
结果复制了 Martens 等人（2007 年）最初发现的三因素结构。此外，结果发现，与饮用混合饮料、啤酒或葡萄酒的人相比，饮用白酒或含咖啡因的酒精饮料的人报告的 RAPI 总分以及滥用/依赖和个人后果因子得分更高，但社会后果因子得分没有更高。结论/意义：这项研究可能会为与即将入学的大一新生讨论不仅包括饮酒和负面后果，还包括饮用特定类型的酒精饮料（如白酒或含咖啡因的酒精饮料）的危险提供信息。
