“…In the age group of 10-64 years 14.8% males and 5.1% females consumed alcohol 1-2 days in a week (Botswana central statistics office, 2009). A high percentage of male drinkers have more high-risk drinking behaviour than females (Dodd, Glassman, Arthur, Webb, & Miller, 2010). It is also noted by the World Health Organization (2014) that most females abstain from alcohol.…”

“…It is reported that underage drinking and binge drinking are problematic. Learners who might have been exposed to alcohol drinking patterns at an early age tend to develop elevated risk drinking habits (Dodd, Glassman, Arthur, Webb, & Miller, 2010). It might be assumed that the learner who started drinking from an early age might develop dependency on alcohol rather than learners who start drinking later.…”

“…Quality education should promote learners' good physical, social, and mental health. Research shows many universities are experiencing alcohol abuse by learners (Biott, Boitt, Othieno, & Obondo, 2016; Dodd, Glassman, Arthur, Webb, & Miller, 2010). Excessive drinking of Alcohol among the learners is closely associated with health, social, academic, and economic risks.…”

“…Le sentiment d'acceptation et d'affiliation qu'amène la consommation de substances psychotropes entre les pairs peut, parmi d'autres facteurs, masquer les dangers concernant l'usage prolongé et abusif de ces substances (Coslin, 2003;Dodd, Glassman, Arthur, Webb & Miller, 2010 …”

“…Ces résultats concordent avec l'étude de Wills et al (2004) qui démontre que plus les pairs (sans égard au sexe) sont importants pour un adolescent, plus le risque de consommation de substances psychotropes est élevé. En outre, d'autres résultats d'études indiquent que la pression au conformisme provenant des pairs exerce une forte influence à la consommation de substances psychotropes (Dodd et al, 2010;Hawkins & al., 1992). En ce sens, Florin (2003) indique que les adolescents auront tendance à se joindre à des personnes qui leur ressemblent et qui ont des goûts similaires, par exemple en ce qui concerne les activités, l'habillement et les goûts musicaux.…”

ObjectiveHigh-level alcohol consumption is common in, and central to, the student community. Among adults, high-level alcohol consumption, and sometimes also low, has been associated with poorer social integration and mental health. We aimed to investigate how alcohol consumption relates to life satisfaction and mental health among students in higher education.MethodsData from the Norwegian study of students' health and well-being (SHoT, 2014, n = 9632) were used. Associations between alcohol consumption (AUDIT; abstainers, low risk, risky and hazardous consumption) and life satisfaction and mental health complaints, as well as number of close friends, and social and emotional loneliness were investigated using linear regression models. Crude models and models adjusted for age, gender and relationship status were conducted.ResultsStudents reporting hazardous consumption reported lower life satisfaction, more mental health complaints, and more emotional and social loneliness than students with low risk consumption. Students reporting risky consumption reported slightly reduced life satisfaction and more mental health complaints, but more close friends and less social loneliness. Abstainers did not report reduced life satisfaction or more mental health complaints, despite reporting fewer close friends and more social loneliness.ConclusionHigh-level alcohol consumption among students might indicate increased risk of several problems in the future – but also currently. Our findings further imply that the quality of friendships might be more important for life satisfaction and mental health than the number of friends, but also that social integration in student communities might be more difficult for students who do not drink.
