| dc.description.abstract | The present study addressed the frequency and quantity of
alcohol consumption among 100 freshmen and 100 senior
students representing various faculties at Lakehead
University. Results suggested female students' alcohol
consumption was more frequent, but not greater in
quantity, than male students'. Freshmen were heavier
consumers of alcohol than seniors. Reasons for drinking,
and the kind of alcohol preferred differed between the
sexes. More freshmen than seniors reported they missed
class and their grades were affected as a result of their
drinking, and that they were nearly always to always
drunk when they drank. Anxiety was found to be associated
with the frequency, but not the quantity, of alcohol
consumption among male and female students. Finally,
depression was not found to be associated with students'
alcohol consumption patterns. | |
