“…The amount consumed during pre-loading sessions predicted the expectancies of consumption later in day [30]. Similarly, a larger study of young adult bar patrons in the US (n = 1040) found pre-loading to be common among college populations, to be similar for males and females and to be associated with intentions to drink [31]. Young university students identify the economic benefits of pre-loading prior to going to a pub or club [10].…”

Background: Hazardous alcohol consumption and associated harms are high among young university students. The university environment is conducive to excessive alcohol consumption with studies finding young university students to drink alcohol at higher levels than their non-university peers. Methods: A random sample of 18 -24-year-old undergraduate, internal university students completed a survey (n = 2465) to investigate differences in self-reported personal, secondhand and witnessed alcohol-related harms, alcohol expectancies, pre-loading, and friends' alcohol consumption between low risk and hazardous drinkers. Univariate and multivariate analyses are reported. Results: Almost 40% of students who had consumed alcohol in the past year reported drinking at hazardous levels. Univariate analyses found students who reported hazardous drinking reported significantly higher scores relating to experienced, second-hand, witnessed and academic problems compared to low risk drinkers. Hazardous drinkers were also more likely to pre-load, to drink at higher levels when pre-loading, have more friends who drank alcohol, have more friends who drank at hazardous levels and to score higher on alcohol expectancies. However both low risk and hazardous drinkers experienced a range of harms due to their own drinking including hangover (71.2%), unprotected sex (19.3%), regretted sex (16.8%) and drink-driving (17%). Looking after an intoxicated student (34.3%) and witnessing someone pass out (37.5%) were issues for all drinkers. Experienced alcohol related harms, academic problems, alcohol expectancies, close friends' level of alcohol consumption, pre-loading in the last four weeks and level of consumption when pre-loading were predictors of hazardous drinking (p < S. Burns et al.2 0.001). Conclusion: Young undergraduate university students are at risk of a range of academic, social, emotional and physical harms associated with their own and other students' alcohol consumption. There is a need for integrated programs to address university drinking culture and effect positive changes.

“…MacLean & Callinan (2013 surveyed and interviewed young Australians and found that preloading significantly predicted high-risk drinking, and that motivations included social pleasures, price of drinks and enhanced intoxication. Survey research demonstrates that pre-loading is reported by more than half of those sampled from night-time economy precincts in the US (Reed et al 2011) and the UK, particularly by women (Measham et al 2011). Similar findings have been obtained in Australia where pre-loaders (65% prevalence rate) were more likely to consume excessive quantities of alcohol and experience aggression, injuries, drunk driving and other forms of alcohol-related harm compared with those who did not pre-load (Hummer et al 2013;Miller et al 2013).…”

The practice of pre-loading-drinking large amounts of alcohol rapidly in private spaces prior to socialising in the night-time economy-has come to notice recently in the study of alcohol-related harm, but no studies have explored these phenomena in Aotearoa New Zealand. We used a theoretical framework developed with public health alcohol studies for understanding drinking cultures that conceptualises patterns of behaviours as arising within a dynamic interaction between forces of hedonism, function and control. We report findings from 34 focus groups conducted with 18-25 year olds as part of a project supported by the Marsden Fund, between 2011 and 2012, to investigate drinking cultures among young people. Our thematic analyses of participants' accounts of pre-loading show that the term is in common use, applying to a range of practices motivated by price of alcohol but influenced by the pleasures of intoxication, the importance of peer processes and certain aspects of the regulatory system. We conclude with a discussion of the usefulness of the framework and the implications of the findings for public health policy that aims to reduce alcohol consumption and the harm that arises from it.

“…Specifi cally, risk behaviors including pregaming (Borsari et al, 2007a;LaBrie and Pedersen, 2008;Pedersen and LaBrie, 2007;Read et al, 2010) and drinking games (Borsari et al, 2003) are predictive of specifi c (heavy use per occasion) drinking patterns, as are drinking intentions (Reed et al, 2011). Specifi c use patterns may also predict different acute consequences of alcohol misuse (Perkins, 2002), such as college sanctions or medical treatment (Hoover, 2003).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: Despite the long recognized importance and well-documented impact of drinking patterns on health and safety, college student drinking patterns are understudied. This study used a daily-level, academic-year-long, multisite sample to identify subpopulations of college student drinking patterns and to describe how these groups differ from one another before, during, and after their fi rst year of college. Method: Two cohorts of fi rst-year college students (n = 588; 59% female) reported daily drinking on a biweekly basis using web-based surveys and completed surveys before and after their fi rst year of college. Results: Cluster analyses based on time series analysis estimates of within-person drinking differences (per weekday, semester, fi rst 6 weeks) and other descriptors of day-to-day drinking identifi ed fi ve drinking patterns: two low (47% and 6%), two medium (24% and 15%), and one high (8%) drinking cluster. Multinomial logistic regression analyses examined cluster differences in pre-college characteristics (i.e., demographics, alcohol outcome expectancies, alcohol problems, depression, other substance use) and fi rst-year college experiences (i.e., academic engagement, alcohol consequences, risky drinking practices, alcohol problems, drinking during academic breaks). Low-drinking students appeared to form a relatively homogeneous group, whereas two distinct patterns were found for medium-drinking students with different weekend and Thursday drinking rates. The Thursday drinking cluster showed lower academic engagement and greater participation in risky drinking practices. Conclusions: These fi ndings highlight quantitative and qualitative differences in day-to-day drinking patterns and suggest a link between motivational differences and drinking patterns, which may be addressed in developing tailored interventional strategies.
