University Students' Reasons for NOT Drinking: Relationship to Alcohol Consumption Level.

Slicker, Ellen K.

Journal of Alcohol and Drug Education, v42 n2 p83-102 Win 1997

Examines patterns of alcohol use at a mid-South state university so as to discover the reasons students (N=403) endorse for not drinking on those occasions when they chose not to drink. Results indicate that safety needs, the risk of underage drinking, the affordability of alcohol, and religiosity all contributed to decisions not to drink. (RJM)
