AIMS: To investigate patterns of alcohol consumption and intoxication in French sport science students. METHODS: Second- and third-year sport university students (n = 677) completed an anonymous self-report questionnaire. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: 20.4% reported more than six episodes of intoxication during the previous year. Male students drank more frequently and were more frequently intoxicated than were female students. Compared to their peers in the general population, sport students drank less frequently, but reported more episodes of intoxication. There were no differences in frequency of intoxication according to competitive level.
