Key Points

  • Participants reported a 67.9% rate of alcohol consumption, with psychological factors such as depression prominently linked to high-risk drinking.
  • A cross-sectional study using electronic surveys identified key predictors of high-risk alcohol consumption among university students aged 18 and over.
  • Strategies for reducing high-risk drinking among students must target psychological stress and promote responsible behaviors regarding alcohol access.
