Abstract
Of 4,266 students at 72 USA colleges in 1984–1985, characteristics of subsamples of students from states that had a minimum drinking age of 21 yr. ( N = 1,328) and from those that had a minimum age below 21 yr. ( N = 1,292) were analyzed. The results suggest few differences in drinking problems between students from the two categories of states; however, these few differences favor states with higher drinking ages.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
