\n
    \n
  • Frequent binge drinkers are more likely to miss a class, fall behind in their schoolwork (Wechsler et al., 1998)<\/li>\n
  • The number of drinks consumed correlates positively with the number of classes missed (AlcoholEdu, 2008-2009)<\/li>\n
  • Frequency of alcohol consumption was associated positively with absenteeism from classes disliked (Wyatt, 1992)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
    <\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>Research Finding #2: High-risk drinking negatively impacts time spent studying<\/div>
    \n
      \n
    • Alcohol consumption has a negative predictive effect on study hours under all definitions of drinking (binge, frequent binge, drunkenness, and frequent drunkenness) (Wolaver, 2002)<\/li>\n
    • More frequent use of alcohol usually produces larger negative effects on study hours, with frequent drunkenness having the largest negative effect (Wolaver, 2002)<\/li>\n
    • There is a negative relationship between heavy episodic alcohol use and the time students spend on academics (Porter & Pryor, 2007)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
      <\/i><\/i><\/i><\/span>Research Finding #3: Inverse relationship between high-risk drinking and grade point average<\/div>
      \n
        \n
      • Binge drinking two or more times in a typical two week period is linked to significantly lower semester grades (Pascarella et al., 2007)<\/li>\n
      • The probability of getting a high GPA significantly decreases as the frequency of heavy episodic drinking increases (Porter & Pryor, 2007)<\/li>\n
      • The heaviest drinkers obtain the lowest grades (Preseley, 1993)<\/li>\n
      • The amount of alcohol consumed correlates significantly with GPA (Singleton, R. 2007)<\/li>\n
      • Alcohol consumption has a negative predictive effect on GPA under all definitions of drinking (binge, frequent binge, drunkenness, and frequent drunkenness) (Wolaver, 2002)<\/li>\n
      • Heavy college drinking predicts a reduction in the probability of having an \u201cA\u201d average cumulative GPA (Wolaver, 2002)<\/li>\n
      • There is a significant relationship between GPA and the percent of students who drink or are heavy drinkers (Engs et al., 2001)<\/li>\n
      • Among drinkers, the lower the GPA, the higher the percentage who drank or were heavy drinkers (Engs et al., 2001)<\/li>\n
      • Those students with 4.0 GPAs consumed a third fewer drinks compared to those with GPAs under 2.0 (Engs et al., 2001)<\/li>\n
      • There is a significant decline in GPA when comparing abstainers to heavier drinking categories (Rau & Durand, 2000)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
