“…The link between enhancement motives and drinking frequency was signifi cantly stronger among 14-to 16-and 17-to 19-year-old boys than girls, whereas the link between coping motives and drunkenness frequency was signifi cantly stronger among 11-to 13-and 14-to 16-yearold girls.

It appears that motivation to engage in drinking becomes more distinct across the adolescent years (Schelleman-Offermans et al, 2011).…”

“…Enhancement motives have been associated with sensation seeking and with difficulties in inhibitory control over behavior (Kuntsche et al, 2006). It is possible that impaired control of alcohol consumption could be an aspect of a general problem with inhibitory control for some young adults.…”

“…Drinking motivations, or reasons for drinking, are presumed to underlie drinking behaviors, such that drinking can serve different functions (Cooper, 1994;Cox & Klinger, 1988). Although measures vary, enhancement and social motivations are commonly reported (Kuntsche et al, 2005(Kuntsche et al, , 2006 and predict drinking and consequences among college students (Martens et al, 2008;Mezquita et al, 2010;Norberg et al, 2011;Patrick & Maggs, 2010).…”
