Positive Attitudes about Moderate Drinking Reduce Alcohol-Related Harms in College Students
Research Society on Alcoholism

College students’ attitudes about their own drinking predict how much they will drink, how many alcohol-related consequences they will experience, and their odds of experiencing blackouts. A study published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research found that when students considered drinking heavily to be positive, they tended to drink considerably more. However, when they felt limiting their drinking to a moderate number of drinks would be enjoyable and beneficial, they experienced fewer blackouts and other harmful consequences. The study authors suggest that new strategies that address students’ attitudes about moderate versus heavy drinking could be effective in preventing students from harm related to alcohol use.
