This research examines the intersection between individuals' intentions to drink and the perceived group norm for drinking on actual drinking behavior. The paper suggests that individuals' unique drinking motivations may be expressions of different group roles. The data show that the role of "driver" within groups may protect individuals from normative group pressure. The importance of understanding the processes of group construction is discussed.
