abstract="In a carefully executed study with a high response rate, a random sample of 10% of the undergraduate student body at a rural New England university was surveyed as to the subjects' use of alcohol in 1987. Over 87% of the surveyed students returned questionnaires. The results were compared to similar studies conducted on the campus in 1977 and 1983. &quot;Daily or almost daily&quot; use of alcohol was registered by 4.7% of the respondents, which represents a continuing decrease in daily consumption from earlier studies. One-fourth of the sample indicated drinking only one drink or fewer per week, contrary to the common perception on the campus. Nevertheless, 25.5% recorded a hangover, 7.5% recorded vomiting from drinking too much and 4.4% recorded a blackout, all &quot;in the last week.&quot; Compared to the U.S. population, alcohol consumption appears to be more evenly distributed in the college sample but, still, most of the drinking is done by one-fifth of both groups.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
