Abstract
Questionnaire responses showed college students (66 females, 24 males) believed their decisions about drinking were made independently of peer or environmental pressure but light and heavy drinkers made different judgments about their peers' drinking behavior. Home background factors did not predict extent of drinking. Most students started drinking during high school and reported no change in drinking rate since attending college.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
