The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between mental health and Type D personality with problematic drinking among college students. A sample of students from a large southwestern university (N = 334) completed a self-assessment survey including the Kessler K6 Scale and Denollett's Type-D Personality Scale, along with alcohol-related variables. Results indicated that students with a high risk for 12-month serious mental illness consumed more alcohol (p = .001) and were more likely to binge drink (p = .004). Type D personality and mental health status also moderately predicted alcohol consumption (adjusted RI = .042). Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
