Abstract: 

Drinking on college campuses represents one of the most serious health and public safety risks to both the students and the surrounding college community. Research has shown that up to 95% of college students reported having used alcohol. This article addresses recent research into how behavior of youths can predict their alcohol use later in life, especially in the case of high school drinking.
