Despite the wealth of research on the effects of drinking norms on college students' alcohol consumption, researchers have not yet examined changes in drinking norms and their association with drinking level after students leave the college environment. The current study filled this gap by following students into postcollege life, measuring drinking norms and daily drinking behavior. College students (N = 1,848) were recruited to take part in a daily diary study measuring social and solitary alcohol consumption, and 1,142 moderate to heavy drinkers from the college cohort were invited to complete a second wave of daily diaries 5 years later, with 906 providing at least 15 days of diary data in each wave. Results of multilevel modeling analyses suggest that family injunctive drinking norms become more strongly related to alcohol consumption after individuals leave college. In contrast, institutional injunctive norms may have a greater limiting effect among college students (i.e., the association was greater among college students) and the relations between friend injunctive and descriptive norms to drinking behavior did not change between waves in the current study. This suggests that friend drinking continues to be related to own drinking behavior among adults after leaving the college environment, and highlights the changing importance of institutional norms and family approval. These results may have implications for intervening in young adults' heavy drinking. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

新常态：从大学到大学生活，饮酒规范的变化。

尽管对饮酒规范对大学生饮酒的影响进行了大量研究，但研究人员尚未研究饮酒规范的变化及其与学生离开大学环境后饮酒水平的关系。当前的研究通过跟随学生进入大学后生活，测量饮酒规范和日常饮酒行为来填补了这一空白。招募了大学生（N = 1848）参加每日日记研究，以测量社会和单独饮酒的情况，并邀请了1,142名来自大学队列的中度至重度饮酒者，在5年后完成了第二次每日日记，共906人每波至少提供15天的日记数据。多层次建模分析的结果表明，个人禁制大学后，家庭禁令性饮酒规范与饮酒之间的关系更加密切。相反，机构禁令在大学生中可能具有更大的限制作用（即大学生之间的关联更大），并且在当前研究中，朋友禁令和描述性准则与饮酒行为之间的关系在各波之间没有变化。这表明离开大学环境后，成年人的朋友饮酒仍然与自己的饮酒行为有关，并突出了制度规范和家庭认可的重要性的变化。这些结果可能对干预年轻人的大量饮酒有影响。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
