College freshmen responded to a drug and alcohol questionnaire. For drugs other than alcohol and marijuana, the best predictor of drug use at the beginning of college is drug use during a typical month of the senior year of high school. College freshmen, however, use marijuana less frequently than they did in high school and the use of alcoholic beverages increases early in college. While the frequency of alcohol use increases considerably, college freshmen do not increase the number of times they got drunk. It has been hypothesized that the likely change in peer relations between high school and college would alter subsequent rates of drug and alcohol use. However, the data shows that college and high school drug use are very similar and entering freshmen found new friends much like their high school friends to use drugs with and get drunk. Therefore, alcohol and drug use may be important determining factors in the choice of new college friends.
大学新生回答了一份关于毒品和酒精的调查问卷。对于酒精和大麻以外的毒品，大学入学时毒品使用的最佳预测指标是高中最后一年某个典型月份的毒品使用情况。然而，大学新生使用大麻的频率低于高中时期，而且在大学初期酒精饮料的消费量会增加。虽然饮酒频率大幅上升，但大学新生喝醉的次数并未增加。据推测，高中和大学期间同伴关系的可能变化会改变随后的毒品和酒精使用比率。然而，数据显示大学和高中的毒品使用情况非常相似，刚入学的新生发现新朋友与他们高中朋友一样，会一起吸毒和喝醉。因此，酒精和毒品使用可能是选择新大学朋友的重要决定因素。
