Journal of American College Health, v50 n1 p33-38 Jul 2001

Investigated the relationship between binge drinking and other substance use among college students, using data from the 1995 National College Health Risk Behavior Survey. Current binge drinkers were significantly more likely than non-binge drinkers to report current or lifetime use of other substances. The more often they drank, the more likely they were to report current marijuana and cigarette use. (SM)
