Most published studies, regarding students’ participation in drinking games (DGs), originate from the United States of America (USA). This study extends research to the United Kingdom (UK) and countries of mainland Europe.

University students from five countries completed an anonymous online questionnaire which included measures of the frequency of DG participation, along with types, contexts and motives for participation. Responses are compared by the gender, and country of domicile of the participants.

The study is based on the results of the questionnaire administered to 306 Social Work students from five universities/countries of which 72.2% are females, with a mean age of 22.6 years. This included students in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the USA. A high proportion of students, irrespective of gender, or country of domicile, stated that they participated in DGs. To ‘meet people’ and ‘to get drunk’ are the most important reasons stated for DG participation. Less benign motives, to ‘control others’ or ‘get other people drunk’, are reported as ‘not important’. The most common types of DGs were consumption and team DGs. The pre-partying involved in DGs and associated consequences show important targets in alcohol harm minimization interventions. Harm minimization/public health messages regarding safer drinking need to recognize that younger students often feel they are immortal and do not fully appreciate risks and adverse effects of DGs and drink to have fun and be sociable.

五个国家/地区的大学生饮酒游戏:参与率,游戏类型,背景和玩动机

关于学生参与饮酒游戏(DGs)的大多数已发表的研究都来自美利坚合众国(USA)。这项研究将研究范围扩展到了英国(UK)和欧洲大陆的国家。

来自五个国家的大学生完成了一个匿名的在线调查问卷,其中包括DG参与频率的度量以及参与的类型,背景和动机。比较参与者的性别和住所所在国家/地区。

该研究基于对来自五所大学/国家的306名社会工作专业学生的问卷调查结果,其中女性占72.2%,平均年龄为22.6岁。其中包括奥地利,德国,荷兰,英国和美国的学生。很大比例的学生,不论性别或住所国,都表示他们参加了总干事。“与人见面”和“喝醉”是DG参与的最重要原因。据报道,“控制他人”或“使他人醉酒”的良性动机较小。DG的最常见类型是消费DG和团队DG。参与DG的聚会和相关后果显示出将酒精危害最小化干预措施的重要目标。
