The purpose of this research is to identify the risks of excessive drinking while in college. The participants were 443 college students all under 21 years old. 82% of the participants identified as White/Caucasian, 13% African-American, and 4% as other. 49% were male. They were split into 4 groups according to the amount they drank, ranging from very light to very heavy drinkers. The goal was to see if impulsivity was directly related to adolescent alcohol use and college drinking habits. The hypothesis for this was that it is directly related. The current study attempts to find a relationship between impulsive behaviors and the consumption of alcohol. The students were told to consume alcoholic beverages and record the rest of the night.
