Positive and negative outcomes of alcohol consumption among college students on celebration days compared to typical days

Witmer, Kathryn

Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science in Exercise and Health Studies, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
College students experience both positive and negative consequences in each drinking occasion. In a longitudinal study, 62 college students reported on their alcohol consumption patterns and experience of positive and negative consequences over the course of 7 weeks. Celebration day alcohol consumption and consequences relates to typical day experiences. Blackout experiences were most commonly reported during the baseline assessment. In addition, heavy and light drinkers did not differ across consequences on celebrations days. College and universities might use this information to tailor interventions and develop prevention strategies with respect to celebration days. Implications are discussed.
