This review of alcohol use and abuse in college students presents a summary of the relationships between college student alcohol use and demographic and individual characteristics. A summary of the findings suggests two distinct patterns of alcohol use. For some demographic groups, heavy drinking may be most associated with personal problems, while for others it may be more associated with social and environmental factors. Suggestions for future research of this important issue are presented.

This review of alcohol use and abuse in college students presents a summary of the relationships between college student alcohol use and social/environment characteristics. A theoretical integration of the findings of this review with those of Part I of this series supports the prior paper's finding of two patterns of college drinking. This review further suggests that the two types may have differential predictive ability with regard to future problem drinking. Methodological issues in this type of research are reviewed and implications for intervention are considered.
