Abstract

Students from 13 colleges and universities in the United States of America from the federal government's "50 + 12" project were sampled as to their drinking patterns and problems in the 1975-76 academic year. The results showed few differences compared to studies done in the 1950s. As has been found previously, men, whites, Roman Catholic, and those to whom religion was not important were more likely to be drinkers and heavy (“binge drinkers”) compared to women, blacks, Jews, Protestants from non-drinking backgrounds, and those to whom religion was important. There was no difference between drinking patterns and class year. Few differences were found between this time period and earlier surveys.
