The article presents information on the book "Drinking in College," by Robert Straus and Selden D. Bacon. This is the long-awaited report from the Yale Center of Alcohol Studies on college drinking customs. Questionnaires concerning drinking practices and attitudes were administered by the authors to 17,000 students in 27 American colleges. The research was focused primarily on the following areas: the incidence of drinking among the participating students, amount and frequency of consumption of beverage alcohol, motivations for student drinking, and physical and group settings for drinking. Attention was also given to the incidence of potential alcoholism, student beliefs concerning the relationship between sexual behavior and drinking, and the veterans' drinking habits while in college. The authors' principal conclusion is that college drinking is a reflection of the drinking customs of the larger American culture. More specifically, they emphasize that drinking in college is not a unique cultural phenomenon. Rather, it is primarily a manifestation of sub-cultural background.
