An analysis of the responses of 454 LMU students produced the following major findings: (1) Of the traditional college-age students, the percent of those who abstained from drinking beer decreased between ages 18 and 22, then increased again among 25-year olds. The percentage of abstainers from liquor consumption continued to decrease after age 22 through age 25. (2) A larger percent of LMU students were heavy drinkers of beer at ages 21, 22 and 23, but the same was not true for wine and liquor consumption. (3) The fewest moderate and heavy drinkers for all ages were those who drank wine. (4) With all beverages, higher grade-point averages were reported by those who drank less and also less frequently. (5) As the reported importance of religion decreased, the acknowledged drinking of all alcoholic beverages increased. (6) All categories of consumption of alcohol were higher among students residing in dormitories than among those who lived off-campus. (7) Female students reported higher rates of abstinence from beer and liquor consumption than males, but were more likely to drink wine. (8) Males were more likely to be moderate and heavy drinkers of beer and liquor, which accounts for women reporting greater percentages in the category of light drinkers for these particular beverages. (9) Few patterns emerged on drinking behavior related to year in school. (1) The most frequently experienced alcohol-related problem was vomiting, followed by having a hangover, drinking and driving, attending classes after drinking, and dating problems. (11) Few students scored high on alcohol knowledge, and the majority were unable to answer half the items correctly. These findings and the conclusions drawn from them facilitated the development of a general profile of the student body. This profile was then used to select those concepts which needed to be included in an alcohol education program for all LMU students. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)
