Abstract
The NCASA (1994) has stated that "alcohol is implicated in as many as 41% of academic [End Page 715] problems and 28% of all dropouts" (p. 21). Indeed, there appears to be a dominant assumption that academic problems and alcohol use are highly related (e.g., Powell, Williams,&Wechsler, 2004; Rau&Durand, 2000). To date, however, only a relatively small body of evidence has systematically addressed the potential negative impact of excessive alcohol consumption on student academic performance in college.Keywords
