Abstract

"Drinking Games" are extremely common practices among college students. It is designed to promote fast-paced drinking and, possibly, intoxication, thus posing a risk factor for hazardous alcohol use and negative alcohol-related consequences. The present project aims to investigate the practice of "Drinking Games", its epidemiology and impact on university students.
