Description: Without doubt abuse of alcohol by college students is a problem of almost epidemic proportions. The academic, personal, and legal ramifications of this problem make it a matter of urgent concern to all collegiate administrators. Alcohol Use and Misuse by Young Adults addresses the latest medical and psychological research in the field of alcohol studies and raises crucial issues regarding alcohol use and abuse among college-aged adults.

The contributors examine the key issues, programs, and problems that every college alcohol education/treatment program must consider and their essays reflect the latest empirical data on treatment issues of relevance to substance abuse and dependence in young adults.
