CU-Boulder Undergraduates Spring 1999

(Female N=195, Male N=183)

1. Male students drink more than female students at CU, in particular males drink more often, males are more likely to drink to get drunk, and males are more likely to drink and drive.
2. Men are more likely to report binge drinking in both high school and college
3. Women report fewer secondary consequences of their own drinking, and are much less likely to damage property; however, they are more likely to report secondary consequences due to other student's drinking, such as interrupted sleep or studying, and unwanted sexual advances.
