Those who had not attended any Late Night activities claimed to be too busy, not interested in the activities, or had other plans. Students who said they had attended Late Night activities were asked about the level of their own drinking. The average number of drinks consumed after Late Night activities equaled 1.0. There was a difference between men and women with men reporting drinking more than women both before and after attending Late Night activities. Statistically significant at the .05 level All survey respondents were asked how many drinks they generally consumed in a typical week .
Students expect that 'others' drink more than they themselves do.
Students were asked how many drinks 'in a row' they consumed 'last week' at one setting . They reported consuming an average of 3.1 drinks at a time. They were also asked to estimate what percentage of male students drink 5 or more drinks at one setting and what percentage of female students drink 4 or more drinks at one setting. Their estimates match the percentage of 'binge-drinkers' from a recent Pulse Student Drinking survey completed January 2000. This publication is available in alternative media on request.
