College students' self-reported reasons for playing drinking games

Article Abstract:

A study aimed to identify reasons for playing drinking games that could have implications in the design of prevention programs. The reasons for playing factors significantly added to general reasons for drinking, and predicting amounts consumed during drinking game playing. Students seem to play drinking games mainly to obtain positive reinforcement. The study of self-reported reasons for playing drinking games could provide a better understanding of college student drinking patterns.

Social anxiety, alcohol expectancies, and drinking-game participation

Article Abstract:

A study was undertaken to estimate the proportion of negative alcohol-related consequences occurring specifically during or after playing drinking games. Drinking games were predicted to represent the majority of reported negative consequences. Also attempts were made to determine characteristics discriminating between heavy drinkers who play drinking games often, and those who do not. Greater frequency of play was linked with lower social anxiety.

Sensation seeking and drinking game participation in heavy-drinking college students

Article Abstract:

Differences between heavy-drinking students who play drinking games and those who do not have been identified. A study predicted that sensation seeking would be linked to greater frequency of play and of negative consequences from play. The results are consistent with some research relating to the role of sensation seeking and risk taking in contributing to negative alcohol-related consequences.
